I have vaginal bleeding even though I only finished my period 7 days ago. I do have some pain around the abdomen and lower back but not what I would term my usual level of period pain. However, I did have some pre menstrual symptoms, most notably sugar craving, sore breasts and anxiety. I am nearly 48 but have been menstruating since I was 11. Could this be a sign of menopause?

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. In some cases, an amount of blood will remain in the uterus after the period has ended. When this happens, the uterus contracts to remove the extra blood. These contractions can cause cramping and may also result in brown or black spotting as the old blood is pushed out. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
