cause is not well explained in literature but prematurity could be the reason in your child. due to prematurity deep inguinal ring fails to close normally and abdominal content like intestine is protruding through this defect.

I have got spotting on 14th days of my period, I still get the few drops of blood though it's 10th day. I don't have any pain or cramps just few drops of blood. Is it normal?
