Not usually: Spotting is a very common problem. Infections, hormonal changes, weight changes, stress and other causes are common. Ovarian cysts are also very common. Although both can be present at the same time ovarian cysts are not really a direct cause of vaginal spotting. See an Obgyn who can evaluate your irregular bleeding and evaluate to see if you have a cyst
