Abnormal vaginal bleeding or irregular periods is what HealthTap defines as bleeding that occurs:
When you are not expecting your menstrual period.
When your menstrual flow is lighter or heavier than what is normal for you.
At a time in life when it is not expected, such as before age 9, when you are pregnant, or after menopause.
To better understand the difference between abnormal vaginal bleeding and your menstrual period, it’s important to know what’s considered “normal.”
