Spotting is characterized as light vaginal bleeding that happens outside of a woman’s regular periods. Though this type of intermenstrual bleeding is not uncommon in women, it is often a sign that something deeper is going on within the body and may require professional attention. If you are concerned about your spotting, don’t hesitate to contact our team for support. Some common reasons you may be spotting include:
The most common cause of light spotting is caused by weak blood vessels on the cervix. Other causes include polyp and hormonal causes due to a lack of ovulation.
Spotting in the mid-cycle or after Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a common side-effect and not a reason for concern.
Spotting in early pregnancy is quite common and typically not a significant area of concern. However, it is essential to note that spotting can sometimes indicate complications with the pregnancy and should not go unchecked by our professionals.
