Post : Post menooausal bleeding must always be assesd by a doctor. The doctor will perform a pap smear, a pelvic exam and may do a blood test to investigate any hormonal changes. The bleeding can be attributed to hormone changes, the presence of polyps on the cervix or endometrial cancer.

See your doctor: Bleeding after menopause (defined as 1 year without a period or any bleeding) is always a reason to see your gyno. Your activity is unlikely to be a cause. There are some simple causes, such as a dry vagina and bleeding after sex, and some more worrisome causes that definitely need evaluation and treatment (pre-cancers and cancer). Don't worry, but do make an appointment today.
