Brief Answer:
Malignancy should be ruled out

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Post menopausal bleeding is not normal, and if there is a polyp, it should be removed and sent for histopathological examination to confirm the diagnosis.
Further treatment should be done accordingly.
Malignancy should always be ruled out in this age group.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
