What Causes Vaginal Spotting During Menopause?

I am 58 and in menopause about 5 years. No bleeding not spotting. About two weeks ago I noticed a spot of blood on the tissue. A few days later 3 spots about the size of a quarter. A week later again spots on the tissue about the size of a quarter. Its bright red. I do have an appointment with the Doctor. Is this common. What is percentage that this would be cancer verses à benign problem. I am worried. It has just been these 3 times.

OBGYN, Maternal and Fetal Medicine,  's  Response
Hi, I have gone through your problem. You are having post-menopausal bleeding which can be due to several causes, both benign and malignant. Senile vaginitis, which is a benign condition is the commonest cause of post menopausal bleeding. Malignancy, especially endometrial cancer, is found in about 10 percent of cases of post-menopausal bleeding. I would suggest you to have an early appointment with your OBGYN specialist, so that you can be examined, investigated and treated at the earliest.
Hope this answers your question.
Wishing you good health.
