Brief Answer: Not all bleeding is bad but all needs to a checkup Detailed Answer: The most common causes of bleeding after menopause include cervical polyps and growths, abnormalities inside the lining of the womb(endometrium) including precancerous or early cancers, occasionally period can occur even years after no menses, and another cause is vaginal dryness. Usually an office exam, a simple office biopsy of the lining of the womb, an out patient ultrasound and possibly some lab work will sort this out. Please see your GYN. Most bleeding is benign, easy to treat; however, because it can be an early warning of a malignancy it's important to check out.
