Hi,
I understand your concern.
Post mrnopausal bleeding needs to be taken care of urgently.
*It may be caused by simple conditions like endometrial atrophy/ endometrial hyperplasia- these can be treated by medication alone.
* Certain polyps may develop in genital tract which can bleed spontaneously. - These need to be removed surgically.
* the very risky condition like cancer ( endometrial/cervical) can have same symptoms. Though not very much likely,Early diagnosis & early treatment is basic principle of it's treatment -for best survival.
Please don't be scared, visit your doctor as planned before & hope for the best.
Thanks.
