Abnormal Periods

The menstrual cycle is not the same for every woman. This many mean that your period last longer or is shorter. It may be a difference in the amount of flow. Any of these variances may indicate that you are pregnant. A small percentage of women have periods more often than every 21 days or less often than every 35 days. However, there is wide variation in timing and duration that is still considered normal, especially if your periods began within the last few years. Bleeding may be something to worry about if it occurs between periods, after intercourse, or if you are over age 50, especially if you have already gone through menopause. Often, if you are bleeding from the rectum or there is blood in your urine, you may think the blood is coming from the vagina . To know for certain, insert a tampon into the vagina to confirm that it's the source of your bleeding.
