Intermenstrual Bleeding
I am a 23-year old woman, never had any kind of sexual activity, and has had intermenstrual bleeding for about 5 months or so.
Initially, it started off as just prolonged menstrual bleeding, for about 2 - 3 days after 2 weeks of period. Then, it became longer and longer until the last two months, I have been bleeding non-stop every day.
However, there is only a minimal amount of bleeding throughout the 5 months. A pantiliner is already enough for the everyday bleeding. Previously, I was able to differentiate the bleeding with my usual menses as when it was time for my menses, I had heavier bleeding for about 2 - 3 days. But currently, for the last 2 months, everyday has been a constant single streak of blood on my pantiliner.
Other than this, I have never experienced dysmenorrhea and had always have an irregular menstrual cycle ever since I was 12 years old. It recently became regular when I turned 21, but became irregular again once this prolonged menstrual bleeding started.
I’ve been having some very mild chest pains (around the score of 2 - 3) and with some palpitations which was not exercised-induced as it came during rest.
The reason why I haven’t gone to the doctor yet is that I’m scared that it is a serious medical condition that will affect my future, especially my studies since I’m currently a medical student as well.
