MENOPAUSE

I am 60 yrs old and haven't had a period in almost 12 yrs.  Apprximately 3 weeks ago I started having a bloody (very light) dark discharge.  It never goes away.  I have no other symptons.  I haven't been to the doctor in about 27 yrs.  What could be wrong?

Hi Soulshine!

I very much agree with ontheedge050. Any post-menopausal bleeding should always be brought to a doctor's attention.

There's a good chance that it will turn out to be harmless, but for your own peace of mind, see a doctor.
