Question : I have vaginal bleeding after appendicitis .I'm not due for my period for another week. Its very different than what my normal would be. And I've got a lot of little clots(pea to pin size). its very fresh blood in small amounts when I pee. Should I be concerned???

Brief Answer:
ultrasound and blood tests are advisable.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to HCM,

I can understand your concerns,

You have vaginal bleeding along with clots.you are due to your period one week also.

In my opinion,most probably it is due to hormone imbalance.

I advise that you should go for ultrasound to know endometrium thickness or any other pathology and blood test like thyroid profile and serum prolactin.

Consult your Gynecologist and discuss this.

Hope it helps.

Feel free to ask further.

Thanks.
