1. Pregnant
The American Pregnancy Association says about 20 percent of women release blood spots during the first 12 weeks of their pregnancy.
"This is why, if you experience abnormal bleeding, your doctor will make sure you are pregnant or not," said Mamta Mamik, M.D., assistant professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive science at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, FWIW.
Bleeding early in pregnancy is usually lighter and lighter than menstrual blood.
2. Drug effects
Do you take blood-thinning medications? "Usually, any blood-thinning medication can cause menstruation to become more severe and cause bleeding," says Johnson.
"Supplements such as ginkgo biloma also have blood thinning properties, which can affect menstrual flow," Mamik added.
Of course, the contraceptive pills containing estrogen and progestin (and altering hormone levels) can also be the cause of vaginal bleeding, Johnson added. So, if you start a new treatment, and bleed, do not forget to tell your doctor.
3. Have sexually transmitted diseases
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are usually hard to recognize. Partly because, if you have one, you do not necessarily know.
STDs often appear without symptoms. However, if you start to find blood spots on your underwear, says Johnson, especially after having sex, gonorrhea and chlamydia can be the cause.
This type of PMS - as well as trochomoniasis and HPV - can cause inflammation of the cervix. When the cervix is inflamed, it can bleed.
4. Using KB IUD
Using an IUD can lead to abnormal bleeding. Johnson said about 25 percent of IUD users of copper realized their menstruation to be longer and more severe.
While other types of IUDs, may contain a small amount of levonorgestrel, a progestin hormone, which can cause random bleeding. At least, in the first three to six months.
The good news: your menstruation later, may be lighter and shorter. However, if the IUD moves and is not in the correct position, it can also bring blood in your underwear and you can also feel uncomfortable.
5. Thyroid problems
If blood spots appear, doctors usually worry about a low-functioning thyroid gland. A poorly functioning thyroid may affect the pituitary system, which can affect hormones and cause bleeding.
6. Too Hard
Sex can cause blood loss. "Usually, this is because the movement is too hard or the vaginal area is less wet.The result: a little tear in the vaginal area," said Johnson.
If you believe the blood is caused by a vaginal tear, and not too disturbingly, the wound will usually heal itself without the need to visit a doctor.
7. Having PCOS
"Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is categorized by increased male hormone, testosterone," Mamik said. This can lead to bleeding between menstrual cycles.
"Testosterone can prevent estrogen from normal," he continued. Some of the symptoms of PCOS are: menstruation is old and severe, menstruation missed, and rarely a long between menstruation.
8. Cancer
This is why you need to take bleeding seriously between menstrual periods. Although not common, cancer can still go into the worst possible.
"This bleeding could be a pre-cancerous sign or cancer in the womb or cervix," says Johnson. Chances are getting bigger if you have a big risk (HPV will make you more vulnerable). Be sure to see your doctor immediately.
