A member asked:

Spotting before and after period and feeling hot all the time. what could this be? bloating too.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Multiple things: A period can vary from 3-7 days and can start as spotting to heavy and taper to light bleeding before stopping. Everyone has variability during menses. Sometimes flushing can happen around periods. Have you checked your thyroid functions recently? That may help. Your ob/gyn can get more details from you to assist you.
