Bright red bleeding years after menopause. i'm afraid. what are the causes?

Most common causes are vaginal atrophy, uterine fibroids or polyps; however, malignancy needs to be ruled out. You should see a GYN doctor for a full evaluation.

There are several possibilities. It could be innocuous related to the thinning of genital tissues after menopause or it could be related to taking hormones. No matter the cause an exam and possibly an ultrasound could help figure out the source of the bleeding and the diagnosis. There may be a benign uterine polyp, or there could be pre cancer or cancer if the uterus. These are all very treatable.
