Question
What are some causes of irregular vaginal bleeding? I don't know if I should get it checked out or not worry about it.
Answer
It depends what you mean by "irregular vaginal bleeding." If your menses are more than approx 1 month apart or if you are bleeding more than once a month, there are various reasons why this may be occurring. If you are experiencing bleeding problems, you should make an appointment with your doctor to make sure there is no need for any workup or concern.
