Question 1

bright red bleeding years after menopause. i'm afraid. what are the causes?

Accepted Answer

: Most common causes are vaginal atrophy, uterine fibroids or polyps; however, malignancy needs to be ruled out. You should see a GYN doctor for a full evaluation.

Question 2

22 yrs post menopause and am spotting. bright red blood.no trauma to area.is this normal?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor : If you are having post menopausal bleeding it is important you see your PCP or Ginecologist to perform a pelvic exam, you may need an ultrasound, and other tests. The bleed may be from hormone imbalance to even a cancer hence why you need to have a full medical evaluation. Hope this helps!

Accepted Answer

UTI vs. Covid ?
: Symptoms mimic acute urinary tract infection, but also could be from Covid.  See your gyn physician for clean catch urine and culture, and obtain a PCR test for Covid, and quarantine for at least 10 days, along with close contacts.

Question 4

spotting red blood after menopause some pressure, my doctor can't see me for 3 days should i go to the emergency room?

Accepted Answer

: Spotting and Pressure are not emergent problems. You don't need to go to the ER. 3 Days is a very short time for a non emergent problem. Most likely you have a fibroid or adenomyosis. In the rare case that there was a malignancy, 3 days would not make any difference in the treatment or course.

Question 5

if l start to get hot  my face gets red and feels like it's on fire and l get a low grade fever. blood tests are good. my dr says menopause?

Accepted Answer

Agree with your doc: Your doctor knows more about your health than any one of us on HealthTap and you should follow her/his advice. You may visit this site for information: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/menopause/symptoms-causes/syc-20353397
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 6

in menopause 2 years had endo biospy 3 mths ago as lining was 6mm. biopsy result nrml now feel dry and spotter a little bright red ! can cancer grow in less than 3 mths?

Accepted Answer

: With a negative endometrial biopsy, it is unlikely that you have uterine Cancer. Yet we can not rule it out if you persist with vaginal bleeding/spotting. Yes cancer can grow in 3 months but it is less likely in your case.
Keep a close eye for spotting. If it recurs, seek further guidance from a gynecologist.
An Ultrasound of the uterus is the most useful test, to check periodically

Question 7

what causes bright red blood after intercourse?

Accepted Answer

Cervical: Need to do a good vaginal exam and exam the cervix.   If over 21...Get a pap...

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Probably fissure: suspect given your age is fissure at anal verge but if continues need evaluation by a gastroenterologist

Question 9

occasional bright red blood after going #2 for 5 or more years. constipated and usually with pain. w/o exam dr assumes hemmoroids. is this most likely?

Accepted Answer

Most likely.: Most likely it is hemmoridalo in etiology. I would do a colonoscopy  to better define the etiologym.  Could also be a anal  fissure. Treatment is totally different. Proctitis could also be reason for rectal bleed.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Could be: Anal fissure or hemorrhoid. Try warm bath soaks, drink plenty of liquids, add fiber to diet like metamucil, avoid constipation and straining. See a doctor soon if the problem persists.
