This only happens once a month and to have a couple of periods in a month has a simple explanation. However, some women experience irregularities on matters like this while some experience red discharge even when they don’t have a period yet.

Experiencing such with no period, these might be the reasons behind this:

  • Pregnancy – there are other symptoms that happens along with this like swollen or tender breasts, nausea, vomiting, frequent urination, and fatigue.
  • Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) – this condition is a result of untreated STI. It may include other symptoms like pain in pelvis or abdomen and during urination, heavy or foul-smelling discharge, bleeding after an intercourse and in between periods, and fever and chills.
  • Low weight – weight can affect hormones which may result to the stopping of ovulation. Such may lead to amenorrhea where other symptoms are hair loss, headaches, acne, and some milky discharge from your nipples.
  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) – this is a hormonal disorder to women that interrupts the ovulation.
  • Thyroid conditions – the amount of thyroid that your body releases affects period.
  • Excess stress – stress can come from physical activities or emotional. If you think that this is the cause, try some activities that will help you manage your stress like yoga, jogging, walking, breathing exercises, and others.

In rare cases, the underlying cause may also be cancer. Other possible reasons behind this as per the post from Healthline include birth control, lack of ovulation, age, and STIs (sexually transmitted infections).
