I’m experiencing vaginal bleeding

I’m a woman aged 24 this year. I’m experiencing vaginal bleeding the first time for these few days (2-3 days), light pink colour. I only realised when it stained my panty & toilet paper. But I don’t feel any pain at all.

My last menstrual cycle was also different from my usual cycle. I bled way less than normal cycle and the colour was brownish red and watery. I normally would feel menstrual pain during day 2, but I felt nothing during my last cycle, no menstrual pain, no back pain at all.

FYI my last sexual intercourse was in early July with protection. And I’m not taking any medication at the moment.

Is it uncommon? In what scenario should I visit a gynaecologist?

Thank you.

Hi and thank you for asking us

Through the question and statement you gave on the above section, i completely understand your concern over this matter. For your information there are several factors and causes for the problem of irregular periods such as:

  • Contraceptive pills
  • Stress
  • Exercise
  • Drastic loss of weight or gaining weight
  • Birth control devices
  • Polycystic ovarian cyst (PCOS)
  • Fibroids/ polyps
  • Endometriosis
  • Bleeding problems (Abnormal uterine bleeding)
  • Ectopic pregnancy
  • Some cancerous problems like endometrial cancers

Get through that time of the month comfortably without leak.

Although this is a general explanation over this matter, i advise you to seek and consult any doctor if the symptom worsen. If you have any more enquiries, you can click on the link (DoctorOnCall) and speak to our doctors in private and get the consultation you need on the phone. Thank you.
