Post Menopausal Bleeding (PMB)

Abstract

INTRODUCTION Post-menopausal bleeding represents a major problem in gynaecological practice especially in our environment because it is thought by a great number of people to be normal and hence they present late.

DEFINITION Post menopausal bleeding is bleeding from the genital tract occurring 6 months or more after the menopause.
