Hello Doctor,
I had unprotected sex two weeks ago, and my period started on Wednesday. Normally, my period lasts for seven days, but this time, it only lasted for three days. The flow was red and slightly heavy. Could this mean something is wrong? Should I be concerned about pregnancy or any other issues?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. Your bleeding pattern is still within the normal range, as periods can sometimes vary in duration and flow. However, if you are concerned about a pregnancy-related issue, it would be best to take a pregnancy test to rule out any possibilities. If you experience abdominal pain or pain in your right shoulder tip, a scan is recommended to check for any complications.
2. Additionally, irregular bleeding can sometimes be a sign of perimenopause, especially if you are experiencing symptoms like fatigue, hot flashes, or insomnia. In that case, visiting a specialist for a clinical evaluation and necessary tests would help assess your situation. Proper assessment can provide clarity, and treatment options are available to help manage symptoms if needed.
Thanks
