Understanding bleeding between periods

Bleeding between periods, also called intermenstrual bleeding or Metrorrhagia, refers to unexpected vaginal bleeding occurring outside your regular menstrual cycle. It can range from light spotting to heavier flow and might happen mid-cycle or after sexual activity.

What causes bleeding between periods?

Hormone fluctuations are a common trigger for irregular bleeding, especially if:

  • You are using hormonal contraceptives like pills, implants, or an IUD.
  • You are approaching menopause, a phase when hormone levels naturally decrease.

When Should You Visit a Gynecologist?

Diagnosing Bleeding Between Periods

1. Medical History and Symptom Review – Your doctor will discuss your menstrual cycle, reproductive health, and any associated symptoms.
2. Physical Examination – A pelvic exam helps detect physical abnormalities like polyps, fibroids, or infections.
3. Diagnostic Tests

Abnormal Uterine Bleeding Treatment Options

1. Hormonal Therapy – Hormonal treatments, such as birth control pills, IUDs, or hormone therapy, can regulate cycles and manage bleeding caused by imbalances.
2. Surgical Treatments
3. Infection Treatment – Antibiotics or other medications address bleeding caused by infections.
4. Lifestyle Adjustments and Stress Management– Reducing stress, maintaining a balanced diet, and practicing moderate exercise can help regulate hormonal imbalances that cause mid-cycle bleeding.

Treatment for intermenstrual bleeding depends on the underlying cause:

  • Hormonal treatment with Birth control pills, IUDs, or hormone therapy can help regulate the menstrual cycle and reduce irregular bleeding. Eg: If thyroid issues are causing the bleeding, thyroid hormone therapy may be necessary.
  • Antibiotics: If the cause is an infection, antibiotics or antiviral medications may be prescribed.
  • Surgery: If structural abnormalities like fibroids or polyps are the cause, surgical removal may be recommended.
  • Endometrial ablation: In cases of endometrial hyperplasia, this procedure may be done to remove or destroy the uterine lining.
  • Lifestyle changes: Reducing stress, maintaining a healthy weight, and addressing nutritional deficiencies can help regulate menstrual cycles.
