Brief Answer: Pelvic scan is definitely indicated Detailed Answer: Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day Dear Ms I agree with you. You definitely need a pelvic scan . Apart from it you will also need cervical biopsy and endometrium biopsy depending on the scan findings . Any post menopause bleeding should be thoroughly investigated. The cause for bleeding can be as simple as Chronic cervicitis that is inflammation of cervix. I would suggest you to consult your Gynecologist who would do a thorough pelvic examination including taking a preliminary PAP smear. Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you. Take care Best Regards Dr T Shobha Deepak MBBS, MD
