What Causes Inter Menstrual Bleeding?
I am a 54 year old woman who still has periods each month. I have noticed that I bleed between them but it is very little, more if sexual. I/m not due for a check up till August. My family has history of uterus cancer, but I had an altersound 2 years ago and it was normal. Should I be concerned?

Hello,my name is dr,Dorina Gurabardhi.I understand your concern.
Irregular menstrual periods (metrorrhagia) can be due to
-benign growths in the cervix, such as cervical polyps.
-Metrorrhagia can also be caused by infections of the uterus (endometritis) -use of birth control pills (oral contraceptives).
Treatment for irregular vaginal bleeding depends on the underlying cause.
Hope my answer was helpful,if you have any other question I will be glad to answer,thanks!
