Question 8

bleeding six days after period ended. why?

Accepted Answer

Very common: After your period some blood remains in the back of the vagina and then slowly comes out. Consider starting birth control to decrease the length of your cycles.

Question 9

what are the causes of bleeding two weeks after period?

Accepted Answer

Several: If you are referring to yourself, menstrual cycles become irregular the closer to menopause you get. This is usually due to ovarian dysfunction, which also is the reason fertility declines significantly after age 40. However, irregular bleeding can also be from more serious causes including uterine cancer. Any abnormal bleeding after age 40 warrants evaluation. See a physician with these concerns.

Question 10

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.
