Hard to know: This could be one of multiple things. Suggest that she be seen and examined by her gynecologist. Hope this clears up quickly.

Irregular bleeding: Irregular periods are one of the most common problems Obgyns treat. If this is one time problem it usually resolves on its own. If this is a recurring problem you should be evaluated. Infections & hormonal changes can cause spotting. If there is a concern for pregnancy then do a home pregnancy test . There are many options available to help regulate the menstrual cycle. Schedule a visit.

Something: Menstrual cycles generally occur every 21-45 days apart, and anything more frequent than this indicates a medical problem that needs to be treated. There are many potential causes and only a thorough exam and evaluation will make the diagnosis. See your physician.

It happens sometimes: Many women have occasional variation of their mucus discharge, some spotting between periods, a heavier period, a lighter period, a longer or shorter period, or even a missed period. Having one or two of these symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean there is a medical problem, but a visit to one’s primary care or Ob-Gyn doctor is a good idea if symptoms are persistent, recurring, or worrisome.
