Question : Is it possible for a woman to get a period after she hasn't had one for over a year?

Answered by Dr. Manisha Jain (36 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Ultrasound and pap smear advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your anxiety related to the issue
Yes bleeding can occur after 1 year of menopause but it is not a normal thing and thus should be evaluated by local and ultrasound examination.
Visit a gynecologist at the earliest and get a pap smear and ultrasound done.
Get the reports and then we can discuss further course of management.
Take care.
Regards
Dr Manisha
