Dr Asha Hiremath, Consultant Obstetrician andGynaecologist, Motherhood Hospital, Bengaluru,told HerZindagi that "bleeding after one has reached the menopausal stage is not normal. Abnormal bleedingafter menopause must be checked by your gynecologist as soon as possible as there may be some underlying medical conditions that need immediate attention and need to be treated. This needs a workup and evaluation by one’s doctor."
The reasons behind bleeding after menopause can be diagnosed or tested through thesemethods as stated by DrHiremath:
This may have a certain level of discomfort attached with it,but it may help if the tissue is tested to find out whether one has cancer of the cervix or not.
If a biopsy cannot be obtained or a woman seems to be toouncomfortable with it, an ultrasound of the pelvic region can be done. It is imperative that this ultrasound be done with a transvaginal probe (this also has a bit of discomfort attached to it).
