How to tackle abnormal vaginal bleeding
February 9, 2009
The amount of menstrual flow varies from one woman to another. Any analysis on abnormal vaginal bleeding depends upon what is normal for a particular woman. Generally, if a woman suffers from continuous bleeding which forces her to change two or more sanitary pads in a couple of hours, it is considered as an instance of severe vaginal bleeding.
Moderate bleeding refers to that stage in which more than one pad is soaked completely within a time span of three hours. If you do not soak even a pad fully in a period of more than three hours, yours is a case of mild bleeding. Minimal bleeding refers to spotting. In this case, only a few drops of blood are discharged from the vagina.
A normal menstrual period usually lasts from two to seven days. When bleeding occurs as not part of the regular cycle, when menstrual flow is heavier than normal or when the time between periods is longer than normal, this is called abnormal or irregular uterine bleeding.
Vaginal bleeding is generally considered to be abnormal if severe bleeding occurs when your menstrual period is not being expected by any chance. It is also an instance of abnormality when the menstrual flow is lighter or heavier than what is normal in your case.
Vaginal bleeding before the age of ten, severe bleeding during pregnant months and bleeding after the attainment of menopause are the situations in which immediate medical aid should be sought.
Slight bleeding between periods occurs to many a woman. It is found that a variety of reasons cause this phenomenon. Extreme physical or emotional stress, obesity, sudden weight loss, perimenopause, use of intrauterine devices, use of hormonal birth control pills, breast-feeding, hormonal imbalance, thyroid disease and sexual abuse are some of them. Periods are likely to be irregular during the initial years of menstruation (menarche). It is generally seen that women suffer from irregular menstrual cycles at both the ends of their menstrual life.
