14. Bleeding After Menopause<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nPart of the challenge when looking at a condition like cervical cancer is that so many of the symptoms can have other innocuous causes \u2013 especially when it comes to the earlier ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bleeding in between symptoms, for instance, could just mean that your periods have become less regular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What you also need to consider at all times then is context. What other potential causes are there for this? Would you normally expect to see these symptoms?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the case of bleeding, there are certain scenarios where it would be far less likely to be regular menopause<\/a>. For instance, if you have been through the menopause, then you should be far more suspicious of spotting and other signs of blood. This rules out the possibility that it is a period, and also rules out other potential explanations such as an unknown pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn general, be careful when considering the symptoms of cancers \u2013 be thorough and look for clusters of symptoms that appear together.
