Lt vaginal bleeding: Would check HCG and prolactin and ultrasound for ovarain / uterine pathology. There is no mention of age but if 40 or greater may be menopause, check FSH

Light periods: It is not typically a cause for concern if someone has light periods. Light periods can be a nice change for those who typically have heavy cycles. If you would like more control over your cycles consider a form of birth control.
