Bleeding After Period. No Pain. Should I Be Concerned?
A day or so after my period I began to bleed again very dark and thick red blood . This has been going on for a few days, the blood is darker and not as heavy. I notice what looke like a clot or a long thick strand of blood the first 2 or 3 days into this bleedingl I ve experienceed this one or twice before in the last year about several months apart. Should I be concerned, I m not feeling any pain.

Hello
Thanks for your query.
you are experiencing post menstrual spotting.
This could be because of a missed pregnancy, an ectopic pregnancy.
Stress, anxiety can cause this.
Thyroid hormone disorders or polycystic ovaries also could be implicated.
endometrial hyperplasia or fibroids and ovarian cysts as well as endometriosis are also likely differentials.
To know the exact cause, please consult your gynecologist and have appropriate blood tests / ultrasound
Take care.
