Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Vaginal bleeding between periods is not usually a cause for concern.
Bleeding between periods refers to any bleeding that occurs after the period ends, or before the period is due to begin.
At your age it can also be related to perimenopause.
If the bleeding is repeated, I suggest to see a gynecologist for further evaluation.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
