is bright red spotting normal after starting an exercise program?

Do you mean you are seeing spots or you are having period related spotting?  If you are seeing spots you could be dehydrated, and need to drink more water during your workout.  If it is the other kind of spotting, call your doc.

You could have strained yourself and not noticed it. Are you near your period? The stress/vigorousness of your exercise may have caused an early onset of slight bleeding (spotting). Could you be pregnant? Sometimes there is "implantation bleeding" from when the egg implants in the uterine wall. Either of these could be valid reasons for your slight bleeding. If it doesn't clear up in a day or two, and you're not near your period and are sure you aren't pregnant, you may want to get checked by your doc to rule out any other reasons for your spotting.

This could be caused by a bruised ligament, or you may even have a minor fracture.  Now, I can't be sure, because you seem to have a bit of a tissue problem in that region.  I suggest going to your doctor again, and have him X-ray it.  You could have misplaced your kneecap, which could still be allowing plasma to be leaking into the region, even after ten months.  If it's not really colored by the retention then there aren't any blood cells in the region.  You could also have air on the knee, which can be the reason it is swollen.  If it's air, it can still have liquid there as well, which could allow the feeling of swishing.  Go to your doctor, because even if it is just water on the knee you need to be sure it isn't going to endanger your joint's health.

I have heard that light red blood isn't so bad, but that dark red could be a problem.  Either way I would talk to your doctor for sure, to be on the safe side.

The doctors are right. I developed one on  my shin after a wreck. 6 months later it was flat and only minorly discolored, 8 months later it was no longer painful to the touch and the coloration had gone, 10 months later it no longer hurt to run. It does take a while, I would wait as long as you can to decide to get it drained, because I was told this can be painful. But if there's absolutely no change in color or size after 7 months, you may want to go for it, cause that's about when the calcification process starts (Eventually it will turn hard.) Healing time also depends on where the hematoma is located. If there is mostly bone and not alot of muscle mass, it may not take as long (i.e. top of foot, hand, etc.) In areas with much muscle mass and fat, it may take a long time, because the muscle absorbs all the protein.\n\nHere's what you can do to hurry it a little: \n\nFill a styrofoam cup with water and freeze.\n\nTear the top rim off so a half inch or so protrudes like chapstick.\n\nMassage the hematoma lightly with this ice for 15 minutes at a time, 3 to 4 times daily.\n\nAt night, use some form of localized heat, that can be comfortable and not dangerous or painfull. This will help promote bloodflow in that area.\n\nDON'T rub or massage the area, you may make the area bleed again under the skin, starting you back at day 1.\n\nEat a diet rich in protein.\n\nGet extra rest if the hematoma is on your legs or feet.\n\nGood luck, I hope this helps you.

Was this a "self test" or one supervised by a doctor or cardiologist?  If it's a self test I would advise you to see a doctor before getting on a treadmill again.  In fact, see a doctor anyway.  That's a very high blood pressure.  An increase in diastolic blood pressure of more than 10 mmHg (optimal is <120) during or after exercise represents an unstable form of hypertension, and may be associated with coronary artery disease.  At 236 you could be classified as well above third stage hypertension.  Really, see a doctor.

I don't think that it's normal. The only well-documented effect exercise has on the menstrual cycle (that I know of) is amenorrhea. Amenorrhea is when the menstrual cycle essentially stops because there is too little fat in the woman's body for the hormones to be effective. This case is somewhat common in elite athletes, particularly gymnasts. I second the suggestion to talk to your doctor about it.

1. Lightly brush the spot with a stiff-bristled toothbrush. Doing this breaks up the blood clot and gets circulation going again.\n2. The redness will spread, but will be less obvious after about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, make sure to cool it down with a bit of ice. Repeat if necessary.\n3. Finish off the small pink spot that remains with make up: put yellow eyeshadow or other eyeshadow that matches your skin tone, to the spot and cover the rest (with the hickey too) with concealer. No one will ever notice! \n\n\n* Sometimes if you add a bit of toothpaste to the brush, it will help clear up any redness faster.\n* In the future, get and give hickeys where they won't be easily found -- or don't get one at all! \n\nThings You'll Need\n\n* Toothbrush\n* eyeshadow of your skin tone\n* Concealer\n* Toothpaste (optional)

Dont worry it's just your period starting. It's not always red at first but give it a few hours and it will be. Good luck.

If the blood is bright red, it probably means that you have a "fissure"...a slight tear in the bowl or anus.  If however the blood is more "brownish" and less bright in colour, it could be much more serious and you should get to a Dr straight away as this usually means internal bleeding of either the stomache or small or large intestine.

A dark, discolored, or brown discharge, which can happen at the end of the menstrual cycle, is old blood from the period that is being discharged. A red color is associated with spotting blood and can occur when ovulating (mid-cycle), or early in pregnancy. If there is spotting at the time of the regular period rather than the regular flow, it is recommended that you have a pregnancy test. Bright red vaginal discharge not associated with a regular menstrual period may be a sign of cervical or uterine cancer.

Nothing serious I hope. I heard once that when they are new, the blood vessels are so close to the surface of the eye that the slightest touch would cause bleeding? Made sense at the time. That's for brand new babies though. If it continues call the doctor! ASAP.. Congratulations!~:)x

yes!\n\nhttp://www.medhelp.org/perl6/cardio/archive/14037.html\n\na number of ailments cause it. However you can get it to 50-60 or so with it being normal if you're an avid runner.

there could be some infection there. Just put a clean dry dressing on every day. do not use neopsorin on it. This just keeps the area wet. Give it a couple more days. What you could do is take a pen and mark the area of redness on your arm and if the redness goes out of this area you know it is getting bigger and should probably get on an antibiotic. Sometimes the trauma to the area can cause it to be red. This is not always a sign of infection. If you start to notice a large amount of puss like drainage and redness, then get to a dr.

Going to Yahoo! answers to get mostly lay people's opinion on medical conditions that they can not see or ask questions about...just take the answers with a grain of salt.\n\nAlthough you say you had, you probably never really did pull a muscle before.  But you have now.  The symptoms you describe are typical of a pulled muscle (not a strain which often involve ligaments where its a little painful for a couple days and then all better - no bruise)  In this case, the muscle ruptures and a very significant bruise shows up several days after the fact (Often causing the skin to be tender and firm).  \n\nIt takes about a month to recover.  The bruising you see on the other side of your foot I think is probably a dependent hematoma (a bruise that shows up at a place lower than the injury because gravity pulls the blood down).  Any place there is a collection of free blood, which occupies space, there may be some tenderness.  I doubt that the muscle relaxer is very helpful two weeks after the fact.  Anti inflamatories might be helpful (like Alieve or Ibuprofen) or even Tylenol if you don't get along with the others.  Rest it.  You can use heat and ice combinations.  Do some gentle stretching.\n\nGood luck.
