unexpected bleeding between menstrual periods

Breakthrough bleeding, also known as intermenstrual bleeding or spotting, refers to unexpected bleeding that occurs between menstrual periods. It can be caused by various factors, including hormonal contraceptives, stress, or underlying medical conditions such as fibroids or polyps. This type of bleeding is usually lighter than a regular period and may require medical evaluation to determine the underlying cause.
