Abnormal uterine bleeding is any bleeding from the uterus (through your vagina) other than your normal monthly period. Having extremely heavy bleeding during your period can also be considered abnormal uterine bleeding. Very heavy bleeding during a period and/or bleeding that lasts more than 7 days is called menorrhagia (say: men-oh-raj-ee-ah).
Although it's often called vaginal bleeding, the term refers to bleeding from the vagina as well as bleeding from other parts of your genital and urinary systems. Vaginal bleeding after sex occurs most often in younger, premenopausal women and doesn't necessarily mean that you need to see a doctor.
