Spotting: Spotting can occur for many reasons from hormonal imbalances, stress, infection, pregnancy, bleeding disorders, medical disorders, growths..... If it becomes a pattern over 3 months, then follow up with gynecologist Brown discharge tends to be from old blood. If associated with other symptoms then follow sooner.
