Would it be possible I'm beginning menopause or a coincidence that I am bleeding 2 wks after a Cortisone inj.?

[Susie Q]

I started cortisone injections (for bulging discs in my lumbar)in April and began my period early. I am still bleeding 14 days later and was told to see the GYN. I have an appt. but the Pain clinic says they dont believe the cortisone is causing this! Scared, nervous...

I read about a case similar to yours. Cortisone was found to cause alterations in the menstrual cycle (usually it extends the bleeding period) but it should return to normal in a short term. Your OB-GYNE should be able to clarify this by conducting some tests to determine the cause.
