Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

My period is due in 1 day, but I've been experiencing light spotting and vaginal bleeding for the past 2 days. Is this normal, or should I be concerned?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

Pre-menstrual spotting can be normal for some individuals, especially if it occurs just before your period is due. Hormonal fluctuations can cause light bleeding or spotting in the days leading up to your period. However, if the bleeding is heavier than usual or accompanied by other symptoms, it would be best to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues.

 

Thanks
