Abnormal Uterine Bleeding After Menopause

Abnormal uterine bleeding and fibroids?

My 48 year old mom's been bleeding for over a year now. Her periods became irregular. Sometimes she can't even tell if it's her period or just abnormal bleeding. We thought it was menopause at first, which may have something to do with it. But she got some tests done and was diagnosed with fibroids. But they didn't need treatment at that time according to the doctor. She's become anemic since then coz of the bleeding. Sometimes it's very little and sometimes it's really heavy with many clots coming out. Now, i'm thinking she should get treatment for this, it's really disturbing sometimes.

If not treated they can get very big. If they get too big the best is really to get a hysterectomy if she is done having children. So I would have her go to a gynecologist and maybe talk about this option. There is also uterine artery embolization. I have attached the website for you to look at that.
