Vaginal bleeding is bleeding that flows from the vagina. Bleeding can originate in the vagina, cervix or uterus.Abnormal or unexpected vaginal bleeding that occurs outside your normal menstrual cycle or causes extreme symptoms during your period can be caused by a wide variety of abnormal conditions, including hormonal imbalances, infection, complications of pregnancy, malignancy, trauma, and certain medications. However, many underlying causes of abnormal vaginal bleeding, such as vaginal dryness and cervical dysplasia, are very treatable if promptly diagnosed and treated.Treatment of vaginal bleeding varies and is tailored to the individual case, the underlying cause, the severity of symptoms, and the presence of any complications. Sometimes bloody urine, which is due to bleeding from the urinary tract, or bloody stools, which is due to bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract, can be mistaken for vaginal bleeding. Any unexplained bleeding should be evaluated by your health care professional.Some types of vaginal bleeding can be caused by serious, even life-threatening conditions, such as an ectopic pregnancy, uterine cancer, or pelvic inflammatory disease. Seek prompt medical care if you have vaginal bleeding that is different than your normal menstrual period. Early diagnosis and treatment of vaginal bleeding reduces the risk of serious complications, such as infertility and metastatic uterine cancer.
