Can A Fall From Cycle Lead To Bleeding Even When My Period Is Not Due ?

Hi, I had a fall today while cycling, left me with a few bruises and nothing more. However, when I returned home I noticed that I was bleeding even though my period isn t due for well over a week. Should I be concerned?

Hi,
The fall may have caused the early period to come even if its only a week away.If there was any internal damage,there should be pain and the bleeding should be heavy,bright red and torrentous.Watch for a couple of days and see if this mimics a period.If there was any chance of pregnancy at all,please get tested.
