Senile endometritis appears to be the most probable cause as it is fairly common and the endometrium is atrophic (1 mm) A postmenopausal woman with vaginal bleeding should prompt indian clinicians to look out for ca cervix always. However, Ca cervix is ruled out in this case with the findings provided. In the western countries the most common cause of post menopausal bleeding is senile endometritis happening in an atrophic endometrium. Ovaries are atrophic so ovarian cancer is unlikely
