Before I start, just wanna have a disclaimer...men, please don't be freaked out by this....


I am a 24 year old female and since the first time I got my period, I have always gotten it at almost the same date every time (maybe 1 or 2 days difference). I have hardly exercised my whole life and finally took the decision to lead an active lifestyle and so started exercising a week before.

My latest period was 10 days before and today, I exercised, in spite of feeling really weak. After exercising, when I went to the bathroom to pee, I noticed blood. I really freaked out. This has never happened to me! Ever! I always get my period on the dot. What is going on? Is it because of the exercise? Did I stress my body beyond its capacity?

Please help.
 
It might not be your period, it could be blood in your urine... that sometimes happens when you start exercising or really change your routines. You'll know by whether you continue to flow or if the blood is only there when you pee. If in your urine, it should stop right away - at most a couple of urination episodes, beyond that, see a doctor.
 
Thanks for the reply...

Just one more question...if it is blood in the urine, any idea why that happens? Cos it has never happened before..is that good or bad?
 
It has happened to me a few times, particularly when I've substantially changed (stepped up) my exercise routine. Starting running after not having run for a long time, for example. I had two episodes within a couple of months so went to see my doc - she did some tests and said all was well and we agreed it was just the change in exercise routine.

This article provides a little info. If you hadn't just started exercising, I would be encouraging you to see the doc - since you are new to it, I'd say wait and see just a little bit longer.


And if it is really your period, it is nothing to worry about at all. Despite your long term regularity, again, a big change in routine can lead to cyclical changes.
 
Sorry to sound harsh, but you really should be seeking your doctor's advice and have testing done if necessary, not asking for a diagnosis online.
 
good answer
