Hello,
At 57 vaginal bleeding is not normal esp if you have achieved menopause.You need to determine where the bleeding is from.Use a tampon or a pad and see if your underwear is getting soiled.You can have rectal bleeding due to piles but usually its with stools.If you have vaginal bleeding,you should see a doctor soon.If your are menopausal then you will need some investigations.Pap smear,pelvic examination,ultrasound.If the bleeding is rectal then you also need a exam to rule out other pathology apart from piles.Piles is easily treatable.
