Question : I'm been bleeding between periods should I be worried

Answered by Dr. Dr. Prasad J (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
If it's recurrent, you need to be evaluated...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It's ok to have bleeding in between period occasionally. It occurs due to hormone disturbances. But if bleeding is significantly high and the problem recurs every cycle, then it should be evaluated thoroughly. An ultrasound scan to check for fibroids, endometrosis and others is essential and recommended.

Hope this answered your question. Let me know if you need clarifications.
