Short Periods Cycle, Blood Only On Toilet Paper, Not In Urine. Cause Of Worry?

Hello, I actually started my period on my regular schedule, it lasted a total of three days. After the third day it was gone. But I noticed after I used the restroom and wiped ... blood would be on the toilet paper. This has never happened before and I m a little concerned. I only see blood when I wipe though, not in my actual urine . Is this normal?

Hi thanks for you question
Less blood do occur sometime during menstruation and is called as scanty menstruation or oligomenorrhea.There is nothing to worry for single cycle.
If this happens on repeated cycle,it needs investigation.
You need consultation with a gynaecologist for investigation in case of repeated oligomenorrhea.
Hope this answers your question.
