A member asked:

What is the cause of spotting after 5th day of menstruation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hormonal ?: Spotting can sometimes occur pre- ovulation due to hormonal changes affecting the endometrium( inside lining of the uterus). If it occurs at other times of your cycle, then it could be due to polyps, fibroids, pregnancy or cancer. Please see your doctor.
