Your Care Instructions
Many teens have bleeding or spotting between periods. A number of things can cause abnormal vaginal bleeding, including hormone problems, stress, ovulation, changes in weight, strenuous exercise, and some kinds of birth control. In these cases, if the bleeding is not heavy and occurs only now and then, there is probably no cause for concern. Rarely, infection, cancer, or other serious conditions can cause bleeding. You may need to have more tests to find the cause of your bleeding.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor or nurse call line if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.
