What is abnormal vaginal bleeding?

Abnormal vaginal bleeding includes intermenstrual bleeding, postcoital bleeding, and postmenopausal bleeding. These are symptoms, not a diagnosis. You will need to talk to your GP if you have any of these. They will talk to you about the right treatment.
  • Intermenstrual bleeding: Bleeding at any time other than during your usual period
  • Postcoital bleeding: Bleeding after sex
  • Postmenopausal bleeding: Bleeding after menopause
