Postmenopausal bleeding may be ovarian cancer or a benign disease that requires further examination.
Ovarian cancer is a malignant tumor occurring in ovary, the cause of which has not been completely clarified for the time being, but it may be related to hormones, heredity, environment, gynecological diseases and other reasons.
For postmenopausal women, if abnormal vaginal bleeding occurs, ovarian cancer cannot be ruled out, but there are also other gynecological malignant tumor diseases such as cervical cancer, endometrial cancer and vaginal cancer. In addition, vaginitis, cervical polyps and other gynecological diseases may also cause postmenopausal bleeding.
Ovarian cancer is only one of the possible causes of postmenopausal bleeding. If bleeding after menopause occurs, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and active treatment after finding the cause.
