Most Common Cause. A lack of estrogen is the most common cause of postmenopausal spotting in women not taking hormone therapy. Estrogen production drops to a low level after menopause, causing the tissues of both the vagina and uterus can become dry, thin and fragile. This is known as atrophy, which can cause bleeding.
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.
