In clinical terms, you reach menopause when you haven't had a period for 12 months. Vaginal bleeding after menopause isn't normal and should be evaluated by your doctor. For instance, postmenopausal vaginal bleeding can be caused by: Cancer of the uterus, including endometrial cancer and uterine sarcoma. Cancer of the cervix or vagina. Thinning of the tissues lining the uterus (endometrial atrophy) or vagina (vaginal atrophy)
Some forms of menopause hormone therapy may cause monthly bleeding. This includes cyclic hormone therapy preparations that contain a combination of estrogen and a progestin. The progestin is used to prevent endometrial cancer if you have an intact uterus. Menopause hormone therapy can result in bleeding that may be light or may be as heavy as a normal period. If you're concerned about your bleeding, make an appointment to see your doctor or health care provider. Potential causes of abnormal bleeding during or after menopause include: 1  Thinning of the tissue lining the vagina and uterus due to a decrease in estrogen. 2  Uterine polyps or fibroids.
