There aren't. The study doesn't even count as a correlation.
The article mentions it was a preliminary study that followed a initial survey where people filed a questionaire on what symptoms they think they experienced. The initial questionaire included a few answers where post-menstrual women reported they experienced unexpected vaginal bleeding, and they put together a new self-reporting questionaire that focused on this topic alone.
Also from the article, it seems that less than 5% of post-menstrual women self-reported unexpected vaginal bleeding. This is what this article is about.
Also from the article, the only action item from this outcome is that, if there is indeed a correlation, doctors can consider a harmless scenario like taking the COVID vaccine as a possible cause of unexpected bleeding after menopause. Otherwise the go-to hypothesis points to serious medical conditions such as cancer.
