Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic!
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
You have to do a urine pregnancy test and serum beta HCG to rule out pregnancy as chances for getting pregnant is there. If it is positive, immediately consult a gynaecologist to rule out conditions like ectopic.
Most probable cause is intermenstrual bleeding which is quite common among middle aged women.
Low grade HPV does not usually present like these.
Wishing you good health
Thanks
