Patient's question:
I am 24 years old. This morning when I went to the toilet to urinate, I noticed red liquid coming out of my vagina. It is still 10 days before my period is due, so I want to ask what could be the reason for bleeding 10 days before my period?Doctor's answer:
Your current condition involves vaginal bleeding again before your expected menstrual period, which falls under menstrual irregularity. It could be due to luteal phase defect. You should go to the hospital for blood tests to check your progesterone levels. If it is confirmed that your progesterone levels are low, medication must be administered for treatment, such as progesterone capsules. It is recommended to continue treatment for several menstrual cycles, and then return to the hospital for a follow-up blood test. I hope my explanation can assist you. Thank you, and wish you good health.
