Hello ma'am, are you taking hormonal contraception? Thanks for the feedback Although the situation can be quite unpleasant, it does not necessarily indicate a problem as long as the bleeding is light and temporary. Bleeding can sometimes occur following an episode of illness or vaccination, stress, fatigue, change of schedule, or even without any discernible reason. Irregular bleeding can also occur up to 6 months postpartum. If the bleeding remains light, just monitor the situation. If it is more than 2 weeks, I recommend consulting a doctor, as a precaution. I remain available if you have any further questions Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
