Have Had Kidney Transplant, Off Prednisone, Period Late And Slow. See A Doctor?
i ve had a kidney transplant for almost 3 years now. My nephrologist tapered me off prednisone in July and august. I had a small period around the 17th of November, only lasted a few days, then I had another period start again the first week in December and it has not stopped. It s not overly bad, I m just concerned that It hasn t stopped or gone away at all. I m not having heavy flows or anything, just normal to minor, but the length of time it s gone on is my concern. Is this something I should see my gynolologist about?

I will advise you to see your Gynecologist .
Also frequently check Serum creatinine as you continue to have bleeding.
Usg evaluation for pelvis will also be required
