ABSTRACT
Postmenopausal bleeding (PMB) is defined as any vaginal bleeding that occurs after a 12-month duration of amenorrhoea resulting from menopause. This is by definition a retrospective diagnosis of amenorrhoea of 1-year duration due to failure of ovarian function. Confirmation of menopause by raised follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels >30 U/mL is not necessary.
