I am am 52 and haven t had a period since April , figure I have started menopause . Started a period this past Friday and having very heavy bleeding , lot more than I have had in the past. I also started taking prednisone last Friday ( for treating symptoms I am having from hashimotos ) I am wondering if heavy bleeding is associated w the prednisone
Heavy bleeding may be due to menopausal syndrome. Not because of prednisone. Very rarely prednisone causes Irregular or absent menstrual periods. No heavy bleeding.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
