<s>[INST] I have a question about my 84 yr old mother. This past July she had a D & C because she was having some spotting. The procedure went well and no cancer was found but she is still bleeding going through  3-4 pads a day. We've been back to her gynecologist twice since the D & C and she assured my mother that nothing was wrong, everything looked clean and nothing was found. If everything's fine and there's no cancer why does my mother continue to bleed everyday? That doesn't seem normal to me.  Is there anything else we should be looking for? [/INST] Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.The most likely cause of bleeding is related to "atrophy" of the lining of the uterus.  A D&C, though, is not the best way to evaluate the uterus.  The best procedure is to put a camera into the uterus (called a hysteroscopy) as she likely has a polyp with the uterine lining.I hope that this helps and good luck! </s>
