A member asked:
A week after period i've been getting abnormal bleeding. it's light and has been happening once a day for 6 days. am i ovulating or could it be cancer?

See a doctor: It would be rare for this to be cancer but it is not normal and you need to be examined to know what is going on. This could be an infection which untreated could cause problems getting pregnant in the future. Hope this helps.
