A member asked:

What causes spotting a week after my period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Residual endometrium: Sometimes the lining inside the endometrium has not stabilized and you have left over tissue that can cause spotting after your period. If its recurrent, see your GYN to make sure you dont have any polyps or other anomalies causing spotting best wishes Dr M
