A member asked:

I started spotting today after a workout i thought it was my period but it stopped shortly after what does that mean?

Likely ok: Probably nothing more than a local irritation. Was it in urine or from vagina? Heavy running for long period has been known to cause blood in urine. Otherwise, local irritation likely and not to worry.
