A member asked:

50 year old female, had my period for 5 days. stopped for 2 days noticing blood on toilet paper ( bright red) after urinating. infection?

Dr. Ron Eaker answered

Probably not: Irregular bleeding at this age is not uncommon. It is mostly due to the perimenopause change in hormones. The only concern would be if you had gone more than a year without a period and started bleeding again.
