What causes frequent cramps with vaginal bleeding?

Question

Hello doctor,

After two weeks of LMP, I had mild cramps and non-stop light vaginal bleeding, it lasted for three days. I experienced non-stop light vaginal bleeding, once again after this month periods. This morning, I started to have light bleeding again. Given my concerns, I had blood work this week; my blood counts are normal; my thyroid, hormones and pituitary gland levels are all normal; and I am not on birth control. However, my urinalysis revealed that my erythrocyte is 25, my leukocyte esterase is 0.3 mg/L, and my eGFR is 88. Plus, my ferritin is 10. Initially, my doctor believed my abnormal bleeding between my periods was due to a hormone imbalance but we now know that it is obviously not the case. Can this be due to gynecological cancers? I am only 32, I am healthy, I am not on birth control, I am not pregnant, I am not on hormones, and the possibility of having cancer makes no sense to me. I would appreciate talking to someone because I am terrified.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Overall looks like normal. There is no ultrasound scan which is required if you having irregular bleeding. Secondly there are 100s of hormones producing and out of which we can do tests of few only. So cannot say by 100 % that it is not hormonal issue. Irregular menses can be due to other reasons also like starvation, environmental factors, stress, eating habit. There are some food nutrients which may have effects like hormones or may acts against hormones. Do one ultrasound scan. And may require dilatation and curettage and send endometrium to rule out endometrial cancer. Do drink more water.
