Hi,
I understand your concern.
Bleeding after menopause is not normal & must be investigated & treated as early as possible.
The causes of such bleeding may vary from- Uterine fibroid,cervical polyp,infection from uterine lining, or malignancy.
Its good that you have already taken doctor's appointment, please don't worry, Be brave- Early diagnosis & prompt treatment is the best strategy to escape the risk.
Wish you all the best.
Thanks.
