Menopause

Is there an association between menopause and uterine cancer?

In Uterine Cancer: Uterine Cancer Basics – Types the [United States] Centers for Disease Control and Prevention note:

“All women are at risk for uterine cancer as long as they have a uterus, and the risk increases with age. Most uterine cancers are found in women who are going through or who have gone through menopause—the time of life when your menstrual periods stop”.

In Womb (Uterus) Cancer: Causes – Who Is More Likely To Get Womb Cancer the (United Kingdom) NHS elaborate on:

“Womb cancer is most common in women who’ve been through menopause. It can affect anyone with a womb.

You cannot get womb cancer if you’ve had surgery to remove your womb (hysterectomy)”.

Postmenopausal Bleeding

Is postmenopausal bleeding or bleeding after menopause, normal?

No. In Postmenopausal Bleeding the (United Kingdom) NHS elaborate on:

“See a GP if:

You have postmenopausal bleeding, even if:

  • It’s only happened once
  • There’s only a small amount of blood, spotting, or pink or brown discharge
  • You do not have any other symptoms
  • You’re not sure if it’s blood”.

Who is a GP?
