What Causes Post Menopausal Vaginal Bleeding?

Posted on Sat, 2 Apr 2016

Question: I turned 51 last month, 5'9", 180. I have had post menopausal bleeding 2 months in a row. In January it was 3 weeks and the 3rd week very heavy. My recent ultrasound says the endometrium measures 6.1mm in thickness. I had a biopsy done on Monday and waiting on the results. Could you please explain some of the causes and concerns for the future. Thanks you for your answer.
