Question 1

i had a bleed for one day two weeks after period had stopped and been having cramping pains ever since for a week and a half. what can i mean?

Accepted Answer

Hormonal imbalance: Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.

Question 2

i have light bleeding and cramps one week after my period goes off what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

Abnl vag bleeding: Probably your cycle is not quite regulated.  Very common.  Best to see your gyn to discuss.  Simple treatment is (if you are not alread on BCP) is put you on birth control for 2-3 mo to get your cycles regulated then stop BCP and see what happens with your cycles.  Also important to have proper gyn exam to be sure no other issues at play here.  Hope this helps.  Good luck.

Question 3

i have been bleeding a lot one week after period, what to do?

Accepted Answer

See your MD: Women over the age of 40 who begin to show symptoms of irregular bleeding should see a doctor to be evaluated for causes for bleeding such as fibroids, polyps, infection, and in the worst case...cancer. Abnormal findings tend to happen as women get older and many are treatable and w/out significant complication. Would be happy to consult more on this.
