Q: Hello-I'm 53 years old and I stopped my period 3 years ago-this month I started having a period again? Is this common? Should I be concerned?
Hi, Helen,
I'm not a medical doctor, so I'm not going to suggest what may be going on in your situation. But I would recommend that you call or get an appointment with your doctor to find out what may be behind this.
Take care and keep us posted!

Hi Helen,
I am also in the 50s. I would think when it is bleeding, it is safer to check with the doctor to see what is going on. Maybe something is wrong since you didn't have it for 3 months. Or maybe the stopping for 3 months had something wrong there... Either way, please see you OB/GYN to see what is going on.
Take care,
NC
