Post-Menopausal Bleeding Pathway

Get your tests

You may have tests to find the cause of your symptoms and check for other health problems:

Pelvic exam. This is done to check your pelvic organs. You may feel pressure, but it doesn’t hurt.
Pap test. This looks for changes in your cervix.
Blood tests. These may be ordered to understand your bleeding and check your iron levels.
Pregnancy test. This is done if there is a chance you could be pregnant.
Urine test.
Pelvic ultrasound. This is done to get images of the inside of your pelvis. It uses either a probe on the outside of your lower belly or a probe inside your vagina.
