Did you know?

Irregular bleeding is common in fertile women and is often caused by hormone fluctuations, stress, birth control pills or IUDs - and is rarely a sign of anything serious.

More information

Bleeding disorders can also be caused by polyps, muscle nodules or, more rarely, cell changes. Therefore, a gynaecological assessment is recommended for persistent discomfort.
