When women approach the menopause stage of their life, they want to know more about menopause bleeding.  Menopause can start as early as 40 years of age, but on average, most women start in their late forties to early fifties.  During this time, menopause bleeding does change.  This change is caused by the fact that tissue build up from ovulating begins to slow down.  As this slow down occurs, bleeding patterns may change.

Menopause bleeding is different for all women.  Some experience heavy periods for months, while others only experience a few days of heavy bleeding.  There is no right or wrong answer and everyone should expect something different.  The important thing is to be aware of your body changes and if you are experiencing any sort of pain or discomfort, speak to your doctor immediately.

Menopause bleeding can also be caused by benign growths in the uterus, from slight injury while having sex due to vaginal dryness (using a lubricant can help significantly) or from a number of other factors.  If you feel that the bleeding is significant and unusual, an immediate visit to your gynecologist is highly recommended.  It is always better to get things checked out before more serious problems arise.
