What could cause a 62-year-old woman to have light bleeding after attaining menopause?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through the images (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity) you provided along with your medical history.

For your age and post-menopausal status, the endometrium (inner lining of the uterus, which one bleeds during menstruation) is relatively thickened. It shows cystic changes within the endometrium (for the post-menopausal state, the endometrial thickness is about three to four mm or even less. Yours is about 9.7 mm).

As you had an episode of post-menopausal bleeding, it is imperative to rule out endometrial cancer, for which a fractional endometrial curettage or biopsy followed by histopathological examination is necessary.

I hope and pray that your report turns out to be negative.

Best wishes.
