What Causes Intermenstrual Bleeding?

How long the intermenstrual bleeding (metrorrhagia) will last depends on its cause. If this is a spiral-induced bleeding, it will take several days. It is usually stained and gets over.

If the intermenstrual bleeding is dependent on the morning after pill, it is not clear how long it will last. This takes 1 day for some and 1 week for some. Other than that, if the intermenstrual bleeding is related to a problem with pregnancy, the duration of the bleeding is still unclear. If the woman has miscarriage, she may perceive it as intermenstrual bleeding. Again, its duration is unclear.

If the cause is ectopic pregnancy, there may be pain and mild spotting. Their duration is not very clear. In addition, if the cause of the intermenstrual bleeding is polyp in the uterus, it may take several days.

The amount of intermenstrual bleeding, also known as metrorrhagia, cannot be considered independent of its cause. It takes 1 day for some, it takes 5 days for some. Intermenstrual bleeding occurs dropwise in some women, more intense in some, pink in some, darker in some. The fact that an intermenstrual bleeding has started and finished does not indicate that the event is over. Therefore, if there is an intermenstrual bleeding or unexpected bleeding, it is necessary to consult a doctor.

If you have taken pills when there was no intermenstrual bleeding, you can ask your doctor “I’ve had a intermenstrual bleeding, does that depend on it”. The doctor will often confirm this condition. If a hormone spiral is inserted, there may be an intermenstrual bleeding every 2-3 months. About that the doctor also gives the necessary warning. Therefore, there is no need to evaluate other than this. However, if the first time the intermenstrual bleeding is encountered and the factor is not clear, and the doctor has not warned, then a gynecological examination is necessary.
