Women : Women can have different colors of vaginal bleeding. As long as she doesn't have pain, hasn't had prior intercourse, has had no infectious symptoms, or other unusual discharge or odor, it is most likely normal for her.
If she developed any pain, fever, or yellow or green discharge then she would need to be evaluated.
