Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I missed my period last month by five days. Then I spotted for three days. Last night, about a week after the spotting, I had a single gush of dark red blood. Thought for sure it was my missed period. But nothing more came. What could it be? Pregnancy test a few days ago said negative.
Hello and welcome to HCM, Your symptoms are suggestive of irregular menstrual cycles. Observe your cycles for some more time. Irregular menstrual cycles are commonly seen in healthy females and hormonal disturbances are responsible for majority of cases. Thus, consult your gynaecologist for clinical assessment and relevant investigations. An endometrial curretings and biopsy will be required to know the status of endometrium and thus management.
Thanks and take care Dr Shailja Puri
