Started bleeding 9 months after last period

I have just started bleeding - lightly this morning about 9-10 months after my last period, which lasted several weeks.  I assumed I had entered the menopause proper. I have had one polyp removed from my vagina, and have another one in my uterus - I had an ultrasound examination about 2 months ago.  My specialist and Dr says I should probably have that one removed as well, but its nothing to worry about. I'm due another appt. very soon.

I am just ever so slightly concerned that there is a very small chance it might be cancerous, but have been told its very unlikely. Has anyone else had a similar experience.

Thanks.

I haven't had this experience but since I had bleeding after menopause, I've done a lot of research and wanted to try to put your mind at ease. They can tell if it's just a polyp or something worse. So if that's what they said it is, then that's all it is. And you might just be having a regular period. I did that when I was in peri. I'd go for close to a year and think I was done and then have another one. Then you start counting all over again. I wouldn't worry about it at all.

How gutting for you, however, if you had an ultrasound so recently I wouldn't worry, it is amazing what they can tell from them and they always err on the side of caution.

Hiya there ursulau I had the same happen to me never had a period since April last year and then out of the blue had one Jan which last 2 weeks I thought that was it so now I have to start all over again counting This as happened few times over the last couple of years may have a period then miss few months then it come on but last year from April to January was the longest I've been without one
