A member asked:

Had light red spotting this morning..last period normal stops on 27 sep..no pain..last sex in aug is dis symptom of cervical cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not.: One episode of bleeding between periods is not cause for alarm. If it persists, however, see your gynecologist. Always get a yearly gyn exam/pap smear.
