Women in their reproductive years experience periodic vaginal discharge of blood, otherwise known as menstrual bleeding. Also termed menstruation, menses or period, this physiologic menstrual bleeding is caused by the shedding of the lining of the uterus brought about by hormonal changes. At times, women observe a gooey tissue mixing with the blood discharges during menstruation.

Though it may cause apprehension, spotting between periods is not really an unusual occurrence. Typically, the menstrual cycle ranges from 21 to 35 days, with an average of 28 days. Spotting between periods takes place when there is vaginal blood flow in between the period after your last day of menstruation and the beginning of your next menstrual cycle. Women may commonly experience bleeding in between periods at some particular time in their reproductive lives. Vaginal spotting between periods does not generally pose a major cause for concern but still warrants attention from the gynecologist.

“Do I really want to lose weight?” is a really interesting question. Ask yourself if there is something you want to have or do that you can’t, solely because of your weight.

Changing the number on the scale will not change the voices in your head.
