Detailed Answer:
Hello

I understandyiu are worried about postmenopausal bleeding.

Such bleeding is common due to endimetrial hyperplasia. This neess to be evaluatedby ultrasound scan and biopsy if necessary.

As of now bleeding is not severe dont worry. You can see your doctor tomorrow if it is only spotting.

If bleeding is severe and you are changing many pads you need to go to emergency room of hospital soon.

Let me know if you need any more information.

Regards
