    Question

    About a month ago, I got freaked when I noticed some blood in my discharge. It only happened once, so I thought nothing of it afterwards. Well, recently it has happened again. I am not due to start my period for another two weeks, and I'm extremely freaked out about this. I've checked sites to look for blood in discharge as a symptom to virus' or some kind of cancer or disease, but I've come up with little to no choices. Your thoughts? A fast response would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

    Answer

    There can be a number of things that cause blood in your discharge. If you are Birth Control Pills sometimes a low dose will allow a little bleeding. Infections can also cause bleeding. Cancer is not very likely. You should see your doctor or go to a clinic to be checked out.
