Vaginal bleeding is a common yet complex medical condition affecting individuals with female reproductive systems. This topic refers to any atypical bleeding that occurs outside the expected menstrual cycle norms and encompasses a wide range of bleeding patterns and causes. Vaginal bleeding can be a sign of various underlying conditions, including hormonal imbalances, uterine fibroids, polyps, infections, and, in some cases, serious reproductive or gynecological disorders. It can be acute or chronic and occurs across the age spectrum. The nature, duration, and severity of the bleeding can offer valuable diagnostic clues. While some instances of vaginal bleeding are routine and benign, others may necessitate prompt medical attention to address potentially serious concerns. Recognizing and understanding abnormal vaginal bleeding is pivotal for health care professionals, as it can serve as a vital guide to appropriate management and treatment. This activity reviews the evaluation and management of vaginal bleeding and highlights the imperative role of an interprofessional team in collaborating to provide comprehensive care and enhance outcomes for affected patients.
