Question
I have been bleeding between my periods for a few months. Recently I noticed that there is some blood in my discharge. I am sexually active. My partner and I have only been with each other. What could be the problem?
Answer
Well this is not normal. If you are on birth control pills, it may just be that you are not on the right one. It could also be a sign of infection or hormonal imbalance. I think you should see your doctor or go to Planned Parenthood or your local teen clinic and get checked out.
