No: If you are of menopause age and have gone a year without periods and then start bleeding again, you should see a doctor. Cancer (particularly of the uterus) is an important potential cause that needs to be excluded.

Never assume normal!: Menopause is defined as no period for 12 months. In women who meet this criteria, bleeding should be taken very seriously as the risk of cancer is very serious. They should have: 1. An exam 2. An ultrasound 3. An endometrial biopsy this should all be done in conjunction with consultation by an ob/gyn. I hope this helps!
