Postmenopausal Bleeding

Menopause is characterized by the complete absence of menstrual cycles, which occurs when a female has no ovarian follicles left in reserve and is clinically diagnosed when a woman has had amenorrhea for 1 year. In the United States, the average age of menopause is 51. This course reviews bleeding after menopause has been established, termed postmenopausal bleeding (PMB), which is abnormal and is the reason for approximately two-thirds of all gynecologic office visits in postmenopausal women as well as underlying etiologies. Though the most common cause of PMB is atrophy of the lower reproductive tract, 90% of postmenopausal women diagnosed with endometrial cancer presented with vaginal bleeding. Participants will also gain an understanding of the importance of early diagnosis and management, which are essential for a significantly more favorable prognosis, endometrial cancer risk factors, and management based on the identified etiology. This activity for healthcare professionals aims to enhance learners’ competence in selecting appropriate diagnostic tests, initiating individualized management, and fostering effective interprofessional teamwork to improve outcomes for patients with postmenopausal bleeding.
