Hi,
There can be several causes of postmenopausal bleeding. The most common causes are vaginal atrophy caused by lower oestrogen levels, cervical or uterine polyps ,non cancerous growths and cancerous growths.
Hence pelvis ultrasound,vaginal examination and pap smear can be done to rule out any abnormalities.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
