Always talk to your doctor about periods after menopause. They can be a sign of pre-cancer. I’ve been there and had additional surgery. I’m good to go. While this is not likely your problem, you don’t want to gamble with it.

I have a doctor’s appointment on the 14th so I will bring it up with her then. Thank you for mentioning it because my appointment is for something else and I wouldn’t have thought about telling her about it.
