Irregular periods and abnormal bleeding.
A very common symptom of menopause is irregular vaginal bleeding. This may manifest as frequent or skipped periods or an increase or decrease in the amount of bleeding. There is no pattern to the changes that occur, but women may want to look at what changes occurred when their mother went through perimenopause. It is also common to get a period after months of skipped periods. It is important that during this time women consult their doctors to confirm that these changes are indeed due to menopause and not anything more serious.
Treatment: Please consult your doctor to rule out any other potential causes of abnormal bleeding. Often estrogen treatment or oral contraceptives are given to women to regulate menstrual periods.
