A member asked:

Im sexually active. lots of brown spotting in between periods. this has never happened before. also bloated, more tired, and mild headaches lately?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I would: Go in and get seen. Not to scare you but the first thing to rule out is an infection of the cervix. If you use condoms it is lower probability but considering your presentation your problems need to be adressed. Good luck.
