General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello.
Thank you for contacting HCM.

I have gone through your question and I understand your concern.
The usual causes of post menopausal bleeding are:
Hormone replacement therapy.
Use of blood thinners recently
Infection of the uterus or cervical canal.
Endometrial polyps.
Endometrial atrophy or endometrial hyperplasia.
Endometrial cancer.

If I was your treating physician I would suggest tests like transvaginal ultrasound, hysteroscopy, Dilatation and curettage and hysteroscopy.

I would strongly recommend you consult your local physician for detailed clinical history, complete physical evaluation and further course of treatment accordingly.

I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any concerns.
Wishing you good health.
