Is bloody discharge a cause for concern?

Bloody discharge is a sign of bleeding from your vagina, cervix (neck of the womb) or uterus (womb), but this is not always a cause for concern. It is common before or after your period. Bloody discharge between periods can sometimes be a symptom of a vaginal infection, such as an STI.
