Bleeding during exercise

[Grace_Mortimer]

Hi Lara and others!

I have a client who will most always bleed/spot when she does higher intensity exercise - this could be simply walking or biking up a hill. She's not doing HIIT training or any gym workouts. At the same time she'll get slight pain/discomfort around her ovaries.

Is this just a sign the exercise is too stressful on her system at the moment?

She also gets pain during ovulation and this will worsen if she does any exercise that really lifts her heart rate.

The other major symptom is acne which predominates in the follicular phase - particularly around the jawline. Interestingly she had a DUTCH test which showed low testosterone in June last year but has since been doing work to address this - now it almost appears if she has too much testosterone?!

Any thoughts or insights would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Grace
