What is the reason for bleeding two years after menopause?

Patient's question:

After menopause for two years, suddenly lower abdominal pain with a very small amount of bleeding. An ultrasound showed the endometrium on the left side, about 0.44 cm thick. The doctor prescribed hemostatic medication, but after taking it for one day, the bleeding increased on the third day compared to the first day. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is inflammation or other types of inflammation. If necessary, a diagnostic curettage should be performed, followed by a thorough pathological examination. Identify the cause and address it accordingly. For women who have been postmenopausal for two years, especially those over 60, if they experience vaginal bleeding again, there are two possibilities: One is that for some women who still have sexual activity, due to hormonal changes after menopause, vaginal dryness can easily cause mechanical injury to the vagina and lead to bleeding if lubricants are not used.
