: Some forms of exercise can stimulate uterine contractions, which will cause accumulated blood in the uterine cavity to be expressed. This bleeding can be caused by "polyps" or other uterine abnormalities such as "fibroids". Ask your GYN physician for guidance, as he/she may suggest other testing to be certain of the cause.
