How To Recognise Implantation Bleeding?
Question: hi for the past few days when i go to pee and i wipe i see blood lightly n small clots . i didnt have a period since august. what could cause this?
Brief Answer:
Can be due to pregnancy or impending period.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The mild spotting and bloody discharge that you are having could be due to
1. Impending period.
2. Implantation bleed which is mostly only spotting and lasts only for few days
3.blighted ovum or missed abortion in which case there will be a longer bout of bleeding and a negative pregnancy test after a few weeks
4.ectopic pregnency with nonviable embryo and withdrawal bleeding following that.
You can do a pregnancy test using the home pregnancy test kits available over the counter or consult your physician for a blood test which is more accurate to confirm or rule out pregnancy.
Depending on these your obstetritian will be able to guide you to the further course of treatment and management.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
