Abnormal vaginal bleeding is unexpected bleeding from the inside of the vagina. What is considered abnormal varies, depending on what is normal for a
particular woman.
Examples of abnormal vaginal bleeding include bleeding:
- When a woman isn't expecting her menstrual
period.
- After sex.
- When a woman's menstrual flow is lighter or heavier than is
normal for her.
- At an unexpected time of life, such as before age
10 or after
menopause.
