Dear Anon,

Thank you for your post.

It is not normal to have bleeding if your periods stopped 3 years ago. Once a woman has gone 12 months without a period, any bleeding thereafter should be checked out as she is considered post-menopausal. Please make an appointment with your gynecologist as soon as you can.
