A member asked:
What does it mean when i have spotting at the beginning of my period for two days then it turns normal for two days then spotting for another three?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spotting: Depends on your age, history, medications, exam, and symptoms. A doctor will be able to examine you, rule out pregnancy, polyps, cysts, infection, vaginitis and when appropriate, perform additional testing such as ultrasound, cytology, cultures, lab work, etc to determine the cause. Sometimes this happens even in "normal" patients. Can be a side effect of oral contraceptives too. Get checked out.
