Question 1

i have been through menopause but after 2yrs of no bleeding i now am bleeding heavy with cramps ?

Accepted Answer

Menopause ?: Menopause is frequently misunderstood.  It is not just the cessation of regular periods.  After 40, "periods" (or bleeding episodes) may become infrequent, and after strong enough stimulation by increases in pituitary hormones, high estrogen levels can simulate a very delayed "period".  See your gyn physican for a pelvic ultrasound to determine if diagnostic surgery is indicated, or other testing.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Talk to your doctor.: You need to talk to your doctor to evaluate your periods - they can do an exam, check labs, and get appropriate imaging (like an ultrasound) to see what might be going on.

Question 4

had sex 3 weeks after leep and now im bleeding and cramping im in menopause is this dangerous i  been bleeding and cramping for 4 days?

Accepted Answer

Likely not: Cervix is likely not completely healed and the uterus still reacting to the inflammation at the cervical level.  If pain or bleeding persists, you should check with your surgeon or if you have any questions at this point.

Question 5

can a fibroid tumor cause bleeding and cramps after menopause. ?

Accepted Answer

Definitely yes!: If you are documented  post menopausal and bleeding  a "red flag" should go up not only for fibroids but other types of GYN abnormalities. See a GYN MD soon.

Question 6

i am 45, in menopause using natural progesterone cream at night. recently i've had mild cramping at night. no bleeding. progesterone side effect?

Accepted Answer

Natural P4: Possible but hard to say. If you mean otc 'natural progesterone' cream from a health nutrition store, none actually contain any progesterone. They're plant compounds that claim 'progestational activity.' in studies i've seen most, especially the mexican yam products, have estrogenic activity instead! creams can be made from micronized progesterone, and these are more predictable.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Yes safe: may not be as effective as oral or injectable progesterone

Question 9

Question 10

Accepted Answer
