Hi,,

Better to get evaluated for any type of postmenopausal bleeding as sometimes it can occur because of serious conditions also. The possible causes of your problem are:
- Increased endometrial thickness
- Reproductive hormone fluctuation
- Local cause like cervical erosion, polyps, etc.
- Rarely malignancies.

Please consult your gynecologist once, get examined and undergo an ultrasound, pap smear and endometrial biopsy. With this work up the possible cause of your problem can be identified and treatment can be planned accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sree Gouri S. R., OBGYN
