What Causes Bloody Vaginal Discharge While Being Postmenopausal?
I have been postmenopausal for 12 years. I have had 9 episodes of a bloody vaginal discharge in the last 2 and 1/2 months. 3 of the episodes started with cramping and then a gush of pink watery discharge, enough to soak through my clothing and then followed by a bright red bloody mucous discharge. I went to see a doctor at our walkin clinic and she did a Pap test which came back normal and tests for infections was also negative. I now have an appointment with a GYN in two weeks. Other than cancer, what could be causing the discharges?

Hello,
The blood in menopause is not normal. There can be an issue with uterus or with column uteri which may be causing the bleeding. Get checked doing an abdominal ultrasound and a Pap smear.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
