Question:

I've been in menopause for six years. I recently started spotting and it has continued for six weeks, on and off. What could be the cause of this?

Answer:

Spotting after menopause is abnormal, but irregular spotting during perimenopause – the time leading up to full cessation of menstruation – is fairly common. Still, it would be worth getting it checked out by a doctor.
