blood vaginal discharge unrelated to menstrual cycle



    
Asked by Unregistered (Female; 21; 10150; no significant events; Relevant drugs:none taken ) on Mon 18, Aug 2008 07:35pm

Hi, I've recently been having some spotting (enough to cover half a pantyliner) for two weeks now. The vaginal discharge ranges from bright red blood to light brown and is often a "egg-white" type of consistency. I was supposed to have my menstrual cycle a week ago, but instead I just had the spotting, which fluctuates in amount every few days. (ie: spotting for a few days, then nothing for 2 days, then the spotting returns). The discharge has no foul odor and I have not had any pain of fever. I am 21 years old, not on birth control, never been pregnant, not sexually active and no history of STDs. My periods have been occuring on a regular schedule and although I've had spotting before (last only a few days), I've never had it for this long. Should I be concerned?
