A member asked:

I 'm 44... in perimenopause and had a half day of spotting 2 months ago. been having sporadic pain in right ovarian area. concerned about ovarian cyst?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ovarian cyst?: At 44, there will be both menstrual irregularities, and intermittent spotting or bleeding, since although you are probably not in menopause, your ovaries need more stimulation to produce an egg, which raises the estrogen , making the lining of the womb thicker, causing spotting. See your gyn, and ask about low dose oral contraceptives to lower the estrogen and cyst formation.
