Is bleeding after menopause something to get checked?

Yes. Bleeding after menopause is not treated as normal, and the consistent advice from cancer and obstetric bodies is to have it looked at promptly rather than watch it. That advice does not depend on how much bleeding, or how often, or whether it stopped again.

There are several possible causes and most are not cancer. But abnormal bleeding is the most common way endometrial cancer first presents, and it is one of the cancers where being seen early matters a great deal. That combination is the whole reason the advice is to go rather than to wait.

Nothing on this page can tell you which cause applies to you, and it is not intended to reassure you. If you have had any bleeding after menopause, book the appointment.
