Brief Answer:
Your problem needs evaluation.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Thanks for trusting us about your health care.
I can understand your concern here.
If you had no period since last three and now you starts bleeding with clots, your problem needs evaluation.
You should consult a Gynecologist and get yourself examined and pelvic ultrasound test done to see the endometrial thickness and rule out the other causes like fibroid, polyp, endometrial hyperplasia.
You should go for endometrial biopsy to rule out endometrial carcinoma.
Are you taking any type of hormone replacement therapy that may also cause postmenopausal bleeding.
Hope it is useful, feel free to discuss more.
Good luck.
Regards
