How Can Vaginal Bleeding During Menopause Be Treated?

I had an endometrial oblation about 10myears ago for fibroids and I am now 56 years old and going through menopause and started bleeding for about 7 days. the bleeding has stopped but my doctor has recommended a complete hysterectomy. I am not sure if I should proceed or wait to see if the bleeding comes back or fibroid shrinks?

Menopause is the end of menstruation. In clinical terms, you reach menopause when you haven't had a period for 12 months.

Vaginal bleeding after menopause isn't normal and should be evaluated by your doctor.

HYSTERECTOMY

This surgery removes part or all of your uterus. It’s a treatment for endometrial or cervical cancer. Some people with a precancerous form of endometrial hyperplasia may also need it. In some cases, the doctor may also take out your ovaries, fallopian tubes, or nearby lymph nodes.
