Hi,
If you have started bleeding at an unusual time, it is definitely not normal. Stress, abnormal weight changes, trauma, infection and hormone imbalances can cause such abnormal menstruation apart from local causes like erosion, vaginitis, cervicitis, polyps and cysts. You need to have a complete evaluation by a specialist to decipher the cause and plan further management. Irregular use of hormonal contraception also can lead to such picture. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
