Menopause is the time in a woman's life after her last period. It is defined as no bleeding for at least one year. Once a woman goes a whole year without a period, any new bleeding is called post menopausal bleeding. This is sometimes a sign of serious gynecologic disease, including uterine cancer. All women with post menopausal bleeding should see a doctor for testing to identify the cause.

If a woman has bleeding after menopause and no cancer and other growths are found, it is possible that the ovaries have started to produce hormones again. However, this becomes rarer as more time goes by.

If it has been two years since you stopping regular periods and you have new bleeding, you need to see a doctor for a thorough examination.
