Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Since bleeding is getting as time passes, it is essential for you to get evaluated in detail. There may be need for ultrasonography first followed by Hysteroscopy. Hysteroscopy will be done only after bleeding is stopped by medication.

Do not strain yourself, any sort of heavy work can increase the intra abdominal pressure and can cause bleeding to increase.

Also, post menopausal bleed could be secondary to mass or recurrence of fibroids, ultrasound scan can help one to rule out the same.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
