Post Menopausal

Have awful Covid and at the same time have had a small red bleed. I had a very sharp like period pain and then noticed the blood. I'm 10 years post Menopause. I read somewhere That covid can mess with your Hormones. Surely this is a coincidence. Should I be concerned? 

  • Hello and thanks for your post,

    I am sorry to hear that you have Covid at the moment and I do hope that you feel better soon.

    From what I have read both the Covid vaccination and the Covid virus can have an affect on periods but when you are feeling better I would still make an appointment with your GP.

    There can be many reasons for bleeding after the menopause but it is always a good idea to have it investigated just to rule out anything serious. It may be connected to the virus but of course I can't be sure. The NHS have produced some information about post menopausal bleeding which you can see here

    I hope this helps.

    Do give us a ring if you would like to chat this through with one of the nurses on the helpline. Our number  is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
