A member asked:
When i'm active i start spotting why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If active means any physical activity, the spotting could be from the increased abdominal pressure causing blood retained inside the uterus to be expelled. If active means sexual activity then cervical lesions could bleed from physical disturbance during intercourse. Either way it is not normal and you should see your doctor.
