Menopause is a normal stage of life, not an illness — but its symptoms can be treated, and they do not have to be endured in silence.
Bleeding that starts again after the periods have stopped is the one thing that must always be investigated, even when everything else feels fine.
When to see the doctor
- Hot flushes and night sweats
- Periods becoming irregular after 45
- Dryness or discomfort
- Any bleeding after periods have stopped
