I'm very confused about my (possible) period?

Question

Hi all,
I was hoping someone (anyone really) could give me some advice.

So I've been in Japan for nearly three weeks now (I'm heading back home to Australia next Saturday) and just before I came here, I had just finished my period which was lucky timing. But then about a week into my trip, I experienced a couple of days of really dark bleeding. I'm talking very dark brown stains and had what looked like a uterus lining shedding.

It cleared up so I thought all was ok. But then earlier on today when I woke up and went to the bathroom a very similar thing happened and I had been bleeding a very dark shad of blood.

I went to the bathroom about 10 minutes ago and a huge clump of something came out when I wiped.

I'm kind of worried... I know it could possibly be an early period but usually my periods are never that dark in colour

Could it be something else? 😕

Any advice someone has would be great!

Answer

i looked it up and heres what i got. you can decipher what makes more sense ir relates to your situation better. if non the seeing a doctor is a good idea1. Old Blood
If you notice brown spotting a week or two after your monthly period, it would often mean that some amount of tissue and menstrual blood were not properly expelled out of your body. Since they could still be inside the uterus, they need to be discharged in a form of spotting even after your period has ended.
2. Infection
Bacterial infections (Bacterial vaginosis) and yeast infections (Candida albicans) are two of the most common infections that occur in women. These infections often expel colored spotting with foul smell a few days after period. While they are not the main cause, they may have an effect to abnormal bleeding or discharge, which is often mistook as spotting.
3. Deep Penetration During Intercourse
Deeper penetration during a vigorous or rough sexual contact could lead to very light bleeding and may sometimes create physical injury. It can cause bruises to the cervix which is usually accompanied with pain.

4. Unregulated Menstrual Cycle
Untimely bleeding or bleeding a week after period often happens to teenage girls while their bodies try to get accustomed to their menstruation. It may last for a couple of months or years until they are able to adjust to their menstrual pattern.
5. Oral Contraceptives
Birth control pills that contain hormones can trigger some effects on women’s normal body functioning. Thus, women who have started or just discontinued using oral contraceptives may experience bleeding a week after their menstruation. As their body attempts to get accustomed to the elevated levels of hormones, the pills may delay or quicken menstrual cycles. Thereafter, the spotting or bleeding may cease.
