Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Bleeding in postmenopausal age has to be well evaluated as the conditions causing it can complicate into serious health issues.
The common causes for post menopausal bleeding are
Endometrial hyperplasia
Endometrial cancer
Cervical cancer
Uterine polyp
Endometrial atrophy etc
The above causes have to be ruled out by a detailed pelvic examination and a pelvic ultrasonography. Do consult your gynecologist for the same.
Please let me know if you have any doubts.
