Specializes in Family Medicine

Go see ur pcp : Postmenopausal bleeding or spotting is not normal and should be evaluated it is not an emergency so I would not recommend going to an urgent care center or ER. See your PCP or someone with expertise in Gyn and assessment of postmenopausal spotting or discharge.
