"womens problems"?!


Question: "womens problems"!?
There are probably 1million and 1 questions like this, but I am presently experiencing bleeding between periods!. I am usually very regular, and have been under some stress lately!.
The thing is it is actually very light bleeding and I didnt even know it was happening until I went to the bathroom and pulled down my pants, so is it likely an early period because of the the stress or should I be concerned it is something else!? I am 36, havent had intercourse for a few years (gulp) and had an ovarian torsion 5 years ago!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Some women have spotting (light bleeding), breakthrough bleeding (heavier bleeding), or irregular periods at some point in their lives!. Spotting or breakthrough bleeding between periods usually lasts 1 or 2 days!.

Vaginal bleeding can indicate serious problems in women who are pregnant, women who have been through menopause (no periods for 1 year or more) and are not using hormone therapy, or girls who have not yet reached puberty!. Women or girls in these categories who have vaginal bleeding should see their health care provider!.

Some women in their childbearing years regularly have spotting around the time of ovulation!. Bleeding between periods is also common when hormones are fluctuating (rising and falling) the most -- during the first few years of menstruation and again as women approach menopause!.

Spotting is very common in women with intrauterine devices (IUDs)!. It may also occur if the hormone levels in the birth control pills a woman is taking are not adequate!. In most of these cases, spotting is not cause for concern, but your doctor may be able to help end the problem by prescribing a different pill or recommending another form of birth control!. Spotting and breakthrough bleeding are also very common with Depo-Provera (a birth control shot), especially during the first 3 months!. Also, if you miss a dose of the pill, you may have spotting!.

Bleeding between periods also can be a sign of a more serious problem, such as ectopic pregnancy or cancerWww@Answer-Health@Com

Probably your best course of action would be to make an appointment with your OB/GYN!.
Stress *can* be a cause, as can age (I'm very close to your age), hormones - progesterone imbalance, estrogen imbalance, etc - or it could simply be without an actual cause!.!.!. between cycle spotting or bleeding can be quite harmless - or it could be a sign of something that needs medical attention!.
Praying all comes out well - but I highly recommend going in for a women's check up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
