Question : I'm 45 years old. I normally have a regular menstrual cycle. However, this month I began bleeding like a normal period 14 days after my last period. Should I be concerned? I have a doctors appointment in a couple of months. I will mention it then or should I book emergency appointment?
Thanks,
