A member asked:

Had pelvic exam. 8 days later i bled. i am postmenopausal. could exam cause bleeding? went to dr for ultrasound and biopsy already.

Pelvic exam is not : Cause of bleeding. You must ask your doctor why you are having symptoms after a routine examination. Post menopausal vaginal bleeding is abnormal.
