What Causes Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding?

Posted on Wed, 18 Nov 2015

Question: Hello, spotting question and light bleeding. I got my period on October 9 and ended October 14. I went back to the gym after 3 months of resting. On October 25th sunday I started seeing a light brown stain on my undie and on sunday night after intercourse with my bf I saw light pink spotting. Monday morning I saw light pink/light brown stain on my undie and Tuesday I saw a dark red very light bleeding until today which is Wednesday. This is the first time ever happened to me. Also based on my expected period it wont be until Nov 6, 2015. Please help.

Brief Answer:
Most likely mild hormonal changes.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
There are few reasons of mid cycle spotting which can be due to pathology in genital organs.
But in your case,as it is a very first time and not associated with any other symptoms it can be due to mild hormonal changes.
It can be due to exercise which you starts again after 3 months.
So wait and watch for your next cycle if problem persists than you should consult a Gynecologist and get yourself examined and rule out the other causes like PCOD, infection, fibroid, thyroid disorder etc.
Hope found useful, feel free to discuss more information.
Good luck.

My symptoms would be cramping, body ache, headache usual symptoms that i feel when i have my period but how come i am not heavily bleeding? Why is it so light?

When you said wait and watch for my next cycle, does that mean i consider my expected date still which is november 6?

Also what i am having right now is it considered my period already? Isn't it too early?

Brief Answer:
No it is considered mid cycle spotting.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for the information.
No it is not your period,it is called mid cycle spotting and in your case usually occurs due to hormonal changes caused by many non pathological reasons.
So before going to any investigation I prefer wait for your next cycle at least ( as it is first time).

Brief Answer:
Most likely due to infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for the information.
The symptoms are most likely due to infection .
After sexual interaction it can be due to hormonal imbalance,infection or due to abrasion.
As spotting is quite low,wait and watch is the best option.
