Here’s a good one...my dog has Addison’s disease and is on prednisolone. I started administering his meds in liquid form and sometimes get it on my hands. I do wash them ASAP but have some breaks in the skin. And now I find some post menopausal spotting. Have I been exposed to the steroid? Will be seeing my gynecologist and asking about this
I am having the same problem after i took Prednisone.
Same goes here. Post menopausal for over 2 years. Took Prednisone for bad case of bronchitis. Helped stop the coughing but started to cramp and spot after the second week. Sarting to taper off and will be done with the steroid in 5 days. Hope this side effect will also be done.

Same here after course of Prednisone 12 months after last period Doctor referred me for ultrasound, internal exam and womb tissue samples - all was ok - a further 3 months and it’s happened again, but lighter - but no steroids this time, except Fostair inhaler - yet all the PMT symptoms including Migraine - hopefully this will soon stop but I will go back to GP
I took oral steroids in Jan. And just this past weekend started spotting and. Cramping. Possible this late after take them almost 3 months ago for 5 days?
Same thing happened to me - I have been post-menopausal for nearly two years. After 10 days on prednisone, I started having terrible abd cramps and started bleeding. It's been heavy bleeding for two days now. I'm still tapering off predisone. No one has commented on how long the bleeding lasted. I'm on day three with no signs of slowing down. Usually by now, I'd be pretty much done with bleeding for a regular period. Sigh!
How long did the bleeding last?
I am 55 years old and haven’t had a period for 11 months. The day after I finished taking prednisone for 6 days I got my period. I had a full 5 days of a normal flow.

Thank you to everyone who has answered. I am 51 and have been post menopausal for 14 months. I was on prednisone for 6 days due to an allergic reaction and just finished it a week ago only to start bleeding this weekend. I'm glad I found this site so I am not in a complete panic until I can call my doctor on Monday morning.
I'm so glad I found this thread. I am 49 and have not had a period since March 2017, later confirming with my doctor that I am menopausal. Two weeks ago, I began taking Amoxicillin and Prednisone due to a tooth fracture. After completing the 7 days of meds, I had slight spotting within mucous, which seemed like normal cervical mucous I used to get during ovulation. Five days ago I began - what seems like - a regular period, fairly heavy bleeding but not out of the norm. I'm also experiencing some cramping and breast tenderness. Just called my ob/gyn and waiting for a call back. Wondering if there have been clinical studies?
I am 57 and 3 weeks ago did a 7 Day prednisone treatment for back pain. I also just had my period again last week. I went through the whole sequence of sore breasts etc. My period was really heavy and bad cramps. I started bleeding Monday by Thursday had transvaginal ultrasound done and just yesterday had biopsy done. I rushed right in because my dr. was always concerned because I was 56 when menopause happened and I promised her if I had any problem until I saw her again I would go get one. I also lost my sister and brother in less then 2 years to cancer. Both diagnosed stage 4 when found because they NEVER went for testing.
Thanks to everyone for all their responses. I am on 60 mg. of Prednisone due to reduce the inflammation behind my eye that is affecting the optic nerves in my eye. I can only see black in this eye for 2 months now. On day six, my period came on with all the full-blown symptoms of a period. I have been post menopausal for 5 years now and was not happy when this came on. I am hoping it doesn't last long, since the last year of my menstruation periods lasted only three days. Since it is a holiday weekend, the doctor's office who prescribed this medication will be closed until Monday morning. I don't know where to turn right now. I am having severe cramps that are not relieved with over the counter medications. I wonder myself if this is a normal reaction to such a high dose of Prednisone. It is not time for me to taper down 20 mg. yet.
