Intermenstrual bleeding medically known as metrorrhagia refers to bleeding through the vagina that occurs any time in between the expected date of normal menstrual cycle or periods. It may also occur in women around the menopausal age. Intermenstrual bleeding can occur from several causes. At times this may be a part of ovulation which is normal. It may also occur in women who use contraceptives. Next cause could be pregnancy complications like miscarriage. Using blood thinners could also be a reason. Besides these reasons, some medical conditions could be linked with it. First among these is hormonal imbalance. Second is uterine fibroids which refer to non-cancerous growths developing in uterus. Next can be polyps in the uterus which are benign growths on the inner lining of the uterus. Another is endometriosis i.e. a condition in which there is growth of the endometrial tissue lining the mucous membrane of the uterus in some areas other than the uterus like in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, rectum, the urinary bladder and intestines. Further causes are adenomyosis (a condition in which the tissue lining the uterus grows in the muscle wall of uterus), some sexually transmitted infections (STIs), pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) means infection in the female reproductive organs and cancer of uterus / vagina/ cervix / ovaries.
