Hi,
The most common cause of post menopausal bleeding is vaginal atrophy so a course of tranaxemic acids may be required. Also, cancer of endometrium needs to be excluded by doing an ultrasound of lower abdomen to determine endometrial thickness.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
