Brief Answer:
Get a Transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) and a Pap smear immediately.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam.
I understand your concern.
As per your history given its extremely important to rule out malignancy of the uterus ,because any postmenopausal bleed carries a high risk of cancer.
For this you need to undergo a transvaginal ultrasonography/TVS at the earliest.
Also a Cervical pap is indicated simultaneously.
In case if these tests turn out normal,you need not worry further.
Consultation with your Gynecologist at the earliest is important.
Thank you.
