During Menstrual Cycle I Am Spotting For A Day Followed By Bleeding For A Week. Is It Normal?
Hello Doctor... I am 36 years old female and have a daughter of 14 years old. I have regular periods in between 23-26days. Now from the past 6 months when the date comes first it will be just an indication of a drop and nothing else and the next day only bleeding starts, and its too normal. Only for two days bleeding is there,but after 6 days only it is getting cleared. Is it normal for my age?? My mother had menopause at an age of 41-42. Pls guide me .. Thank yo

Hi thanks for writing on HCM.
In my opinion occasional spotting that occurs before a period or in the middle of a cycle is not a reason to be worried, as it is usually normal.
Spotting a few days before or after your period can be due to various factors like mental or physical stress can affect your menstrual cycle. Sometimes ovulation does not occur and your progesterone hormone levels are insufficient, which, causes spotting during the last half of your cycle.I still neither feel that this is a sign of early menopause nor due to any abnormality.
Make sure that the bleeding is from your vagina and not from your urine or rectum.If you feel bleeding is abnormal you may consult a gynecologist.
Hope this helps and I have answered your query.
