Is it normal to bleed a lot during menopause?
Asked by unknown
1 Answers
During a normal menstrual cycle, the levels of the hormones estrogen and progesterone increase and decrease in a regular pattern. Whereas during perimenopause, hormone levels may not follow this regular pattern. As a result, you may have irregular bleeding or spotting. In case of some months, your period may be longer and heavier.
Is it normal to bleed years after menopause?

Because your final periods can be irregular, menopause is confirmed 12 months after your last period. Bleeding or spotting after this point is called postmenopausal bleeding (PMB). Postmenopausal bleeding needs to be checked out by a physician. It is not normal to bleed or spot 12 months or more after your last period.
