Hi, I think it is not normal to have postmenopausal bleeding. You should get yourself evaluated by a gynecologist. Get a ultrasound done to see endometrial thickness. If it is more than 4 mm, go for an endometrial biopsy to rule out endometrial carcinoma. It can also be due to atrophic changes. Hope it helps.
