Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
A light, irregular and persistent vaginal bleeding like you are having, most likely is suggestive of a hormonal imbalance which may or may not be due to any underlying uterine or ovarian pathology.
The other possible causes of such disorder can be psychological stress, weight (obesity, anorexia, or a rapid change), exercise, endocrinopathy, drugs, or it may be otherwise unknown.
An Ultrasound scan of the abdomen and pelvis region would be the best investigation at this moment along with hormonal analysis and a repeat Blood test (to rule out pregnancy) which would help in ruling out the cause.
The management of this condition is usually oral pills which help in regularizing cycles, normalizing hormonal levels if deranged and lowering the risk of other conditions.
Reduce stress as it can cause changes in the menstrual cycle pattern.
You might consult your OB-GYN who can do the needed tests and initiate the proper therapy.
Hope this answers your query. I will be available for follow up if you have additional concerns.
Regards!
