No, periods can’t “restart” after menopause. Menopause occurs after you have gone 365+1 days without a period, and it has occurred naturally. Your menstrual cycles are over, and you will not have periods again.
Menopause marks the end of your reproductive cycles. As you age, your hormones change. Once you have gone 12 months with no period, it means you have stopped having cycles. You no longer ovulate, and you can no longer become pregnant.
Bleeding after menopause is called postmenopausal bleeding. It may be caused by many things, but none of them have a period. Things that may cause you to bleed after menopause include:
Because bleeding after menopause is not typical and because it may be a sign of symptom of a serious health condition, see your doctor if you have postmenopausal bleeding. Your doctor can help determine why you are bleeding and the best treatment options for you.
