Both involve spots of bleeding that come out of our vagina but they have their small or big differences. They can even cause confusion during pregnancy. That is, while the first tends to be small spots of bleeding, the second is the result of 28 days of preparation for a pregnancy. However, how can they be distinguished from one another?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Characteristics of the menstrual period<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">In the case of <strong>menstruation<\/strong>, <strong>menstrual bleeding<\/strong> appears regularly and, as a general rule, with predictable patterns. It is true, the length of time and the amount of flow varies between menstruating bodies; however each <strong>menstrual period<\/strong> begins with a slight spotting that increases over a day or two. The staining becomes more prominent and the color becomes more intense reddish (looking like the color of cherries). After some days, it ends, again,with small spots. This cycle lasts for about five to seven days, but never (or very rarely) a full month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">In addition, the <strong>menstrual period<\/strong> is usually accompanied by other specific characteristics or symptoms. For example: hormonal changes that can cause tenderness in the breasts, headaches; cramps or inflammation in the pelvic area; changes in appetite and sleep cycle; and even an intense surge of creativity and sensitivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; background-color: #97c1df;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #ffffff;\">HIGHLIGHT:<\/span><\/strong> <em><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #ffffff; font-size: 14pt;\">In the case of menstruation, menstrual bleeding appears regularly and, as a general rule, with predictable patterns.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Characteristics of spotting<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Sometimes when our body releases spots of blood that could be mistaken for menstrual bleeding. <strong>Spotting <\/strong>or<strong> bleeding spots<\/strong> differ from the <strong>menstrual period<\/strong> by being timeless and irregular. That is, there are times when a body can release small spots of blood during a day, stop bleeding and then bleed again throughout the month. As a general rule, <strong>spotting<\/strong> usually occurs throughout ovulation and the spots are usually dark red (almost brown). However, these bleeding spots can be related to physical or physiological affections, such as abdominal pain, a fibroid cervix, prolapse or a weakened pelvic floor, physical injuries (caused by genital or vaginal wounds), abortion or some infection of the sexual transmission (STI).<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Be careful, <strong>spotting<\/strong> can also appear at the beginning of the treatment of a hormonal contraceptive.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">At <span style=\"color: #ae6dc3;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ae6dc3;\" href=\"https:\/\/sensualintim.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sensual Intim<\/a><\/strong><\/span> we have a specialized team dedicated to help women and menstrual bodies that go through menstrual problems.
