Q It's been 2 years since menopause, but I suddenly noticed some blood. The amount is small, but is this also a menopausal symptom?
A Post-menopausal bleeding is not a menopausal symptom but a warning sign that absolutely requires examination. Because conditions such as uterine lining disease must be checked, please get an OB-GYN examination first, before Korean medicine treatment.
Detailed Answer
Vaginal bleeding that appears after menopause is confirmed (usually more than 1 year after the last period) should not be viewed as a normal menopausal change. Causes that require examination, such as endometrial hyperplasia or endometrial cancer, may be hidden, so even if the amount is small, do not take it lightly and be sure to see an OB-GYN.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
We put safety first. If there is post-menopausal bleeding, we recommend first confirming the cause with a gynecological examination, and only after that evaluation is complete and safety is confirmed is it advisable to continue Korean medicine treatment for menopausal symptoms.
