Menstruation comes back after menopause. Do you know what the reason is?

Women will stop menstruating after reaching menopause, which is called menopause. Under normal circumstances, they will no longer have menstruation. However, a small number of women actually have menstruation again after menopause. Let me tell you the reasons for this situation.

1. The intrauterine contraceptive device is left in place for a long time after menopause

If the intrauterine contraceptive device is not removed for a long time after amenorrhea, it can also lead to the recurrence of menstruation after amenorrhea. Due to ovarian atrophy after menopause, the decrease in estrogen levels in the body causes uterine atrophy and the IUD to become embedded in the uterine myometrium. Damage to the endometrium and myometrium can also cause vaginal bleeding.

2. Causes of medication

As more and more women after menopause use estrogen replacement therapy, the proportion of endocrine postmenopausal bleeding caused by iatrogenic drugs has also increased. Regular consumption of pollen and nourishing tonics containing hormones may also cause vaginal bleeding.

3. Organic lesions

Menstruation comes back after amenorrhea, such as endometritis, submucosal fibroids, endometrial polyps, benign ovarian tumors, cervical erosion, polyps and various vaginitis, especially senile vaginitis is the most common. When elderly vaginitis is severe, the discharge is purulent, has a foul odor, and may cause spotting of blood.

4. Psychological factors

Female amenorrhea caused by menstruation is most easily overlooked. Medical research shows that female menstruation is closely related to the nervous system and endocrine system. The fiercely competitive environment and complex interpersonal relationships put the brain's nervous system in a state of high tension. Mental tension and emotional fluctuations affect the function of the nervous system, leading to amenorrhea.

5. Endocrine disorders

According to clinical investigation results, more than 50% of patients with vaginal bleeding after menopause have no obvious organic lesions, but functional uterine bleeding caused by endocrine disorders, which becomes the main cause of postmenopausal bleeding.
