Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As it is postmenopausal bleeding, it may be indicative of uterine cancer but diagnosis is to be confirmed by endometrial currettage and ultrasound. So, please undergo these investigations.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi
