A 40-year-old female without a uterus cannot have a true menstrual period because menstruation involves the shedding of the uterine lining. However, some women may experience symptoms that feel similar to periods, such as pelvic pain or bleeding from other sources.

  1. No uterus means no menstrual bleeding: The uterus is essential for menstruation, so without it, there is no menstrual flow.

  2. Possible causes of bleeding: If bleeding occurs, it might be from the vagina due to other reasons like vaginal atrophy, infections, or hormone-related spotting.

  3. Other symptoms: Some women may still experience cyclical pelvic discomfort or hormonal symptoms related to the ovaries.

If there is any unexpected bleeding or symptoms, it is important to consult a gynecologist for proper evaluation and care.

I had unprotected sex at the end of May and took an i-pill within a day. I had some bleeding after that on the 6th of June, but my period was supposed to come around the 11th and it hasnt yet. My breasts feel tender now. When should I expect my period to come? I'm worried about whats happening.

After taking the emergency contraceptive pill (i-pill) and experiencing withdrawal bleeding, it's common for menstrual cycles to be disrupted; considering your periods were due on June 11th, you can expect them to arrive anytime between now and 4-6 weeks from the date of withdrawal bleeding, so wait and watch for another 2-4 weeks, and if still no periods, take a pregnancy tes
