Unless your doctor knows for sure where the blood is coming from, I think you need to ask him/her why they didn't check with an ultrasound, and a biopsy from your uterus. Though bleeding after menopause is usually not serious, it definitely warrants an ultrasound and biopsy to make sure there is no cancer or hyperplasia (which is a type of precancer). If you are not satisfied with your doctor's explanation why he/she did not do these tests, you may need to find another doctor.
