Hi,

There are many medical conditions that may cause abnormal uterine bleeding.With negative pregnancy tests, causes linked to pregnancy can be eliminated.Other possible causes of your symptoms at your age could be:

-Premenopause
-Hormonal imbalances
-Medical conditions such as uterine masses(fibroids,cancer)
-Infectious causes though rare given your description of symptoms.

I will advise you see a Gynecologist for examination and work-ups.A pelvic ultrasound will be a very important test to evaluate your symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Iven Romic Rommstein
