Brief Answer:
Can be due to infection. Get culture and sensitivity of the spotting.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.

Yes, sometimes women have dark brown spotting. It can be normal but sometimes it can also be a sign of infection. I will advise you to get a culture sensitivity of your spotting and then as per reports I can guide you further.

Also a sonography of uterus is helpful but not necessary.

Feel free to consult me directly.

Thanks for the advice.

I underwent the sonography of uterus and as per doctors, it is normal.
I will get the required tests done, as guided by you.

Spotting can be due to urinary tract infection also? Because, when I had this spotting last time, I had urinary tract infection also.

Is it a coincidence or spotting can be caused by urinary tract infection?

Brief Answer:
Yes, they can be related.

Detailed Answer:
Spotting can be related to urine infection because the area is close by to vagina so infection of urine can spread easily to vagina.
