Intermenstrual bleeding

Intermenstrual bleeding happens when someone who menstruates sees bleeding or spotting outside of their normal period. Just like how some people have their periods every month, others may experience some bleeding between their periods. It's like your body is telling you that something different is going on, but not to worry, it's still normal for some people. This can be caused by various things like hormonal changes, stress, or an infection. If it keeps happening or you are concerned, it's important to talk to a doctor to figure out the root of the cause.
