When they are discovered early, most of the conditions caused by menstrual bleeding can be successfully treated, but it is important that all symptoms be noticed.
Days before Christmas in 2017, Shelley Nott began to bleed in a manner similar to the beginning of her period. I didn't really understand what was happening”, Nott told the Telegraph, who was 59 years old at the time and passed the menopause 14 years ago. After repeated tests, it was found that she had cancer in her colon.
When they are discovered early, most of the conditions caused by menstrual bleeding can be successfully handled, which happened to Nott.
But according to The Eve Appeal, a fund for research financing and raising awareness of five types of gynocological cancer énex, ovary, cervix, vulva, and vagina, 80% of women wouldn't go to the doctor if they experienced sudden vaginal bleeding.
The Eve Appeal and similar campaigns are meant to inform women when vaginal bleeding is normal and when not. It may not be normal in many cases, from the bleeding between periods, to the bleeding after menopausus.
Numerous studies say that 5% of the postorpause bleeding is due to cancer. Well, it's not very frequent, but it's enough not to be ignored. Such a percentage is equal to 1 in 20.
When estrogen levels drop as women go through menopaus, the skin everywhere becomes more dry and thin, meaning that the skin in the vagina is thinner and that there is a bloodbath after sex. A concern is easily resolved through creams, yet experts want women to seek medical advice and help, for only more serious things will be caught early.
