Quotes

  • “The good news is that most postmenopausal bleeding is not cancer, but 90% of uterine lining cancer presents with bleeding. So if you have bleeding, we need to evaluate the health of your uterine lining to make sure we're not missing cancer.”
  • “What is postmenopausal bleeding? Well, it's simply bleeding after not having a period for the last 12 months. Now we know that not everybody's body read the textbook, so we see a lot more postmenopausal bleeding in the early postmenopausal period.”
  • “So if someone's healthcare provider suggests a urogenital procedure. I want you to think about how you can make that day easier for yourself.”
