Hi,
In the current scenario, you should immediately see a specialist as it looks like you have some local cause for the bleeding which needs to be attended. Local causes like cervicitis, vaginitis, polyps, erosions and infections need to be excluded. You may need styptics to suppress the bleeding and if needed, hormone supplementation. Hope your query is answered. Wish you good health.
