Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Yes, sometimes uterine infection can lead to postmenopausal bleeding.
Other causes are :
- Endometrial atrophy
-Endometrial thickening, neoplasia etc
-Cervical causes
- Vaginal dryness etc.

Possibly by examination and biopsy, the cause for your problem can be identified and treated.
In case of infection, you may need one course of antibiotics.
Take care.
