If I am no longer having my monthly period because of menopause, when should I be worried about new onset vaginal bleeding?

Answer:

If you have not had a menstrual cycle in over 6 months you are probably in the menopause. The loss of your monthly period along with occasional hot flashes or night sweats usually indicate menopause. This begins for most women between the ages of 45 and 52. Any bleeding after the menopause is considered abnormal and requires evaluation by a doctor immediately.
