How do you tell the difference between a period and vaginal bleeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Timing: Timing is everything. Menstrual periods have a cyclicity to them by coming at regular intervals on most occasions. They are darker red with usually no clots. Vaginal bleeding, depending on the source, is bright red, spotty. Or clotty.
