A small amount of bleeding in the second half of the month

Women’s menstruation is regular every month. Some may have more, some may have less, but it is normal as long as there is nothing wrong with their body. Generally speaking, a menstrual cycle lasts for one month, but some women experience a small amount of bleeding halfway through their menstrual cycle. What's going on? If you normally bleed once a month but bleed every half a month, you should pay attention to whether you have a disease, especially functional bleeding of the uterus, and seek medical treatment in time.
