What Causes Premenstrual Spotting?

If symptoms persist, evaluation is needed
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
I understand your concern. Premenstrual spotting can be seen due to causes like hormonal imbalance, side effects of the hormonal contraceptive methods, pelvic inflammatory disease presenting with cervical erosion, post coital bleeding, in case of undiagnosed pregnancy implantation bleeding etc.
If the spotting persists or repeats better to consult your doctor once and get examined.
Some amount of abdominal and body pains during periods can be seen usually. If pain is severe, causes like pelvic inflammatory disease, fibroids, adenomyosis etc should be ruled out.
By clinical examination and investigations like ultrasound the possible cause of your problem can be identified and treated.
Take care.


Yes
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Yes. Irregular intake of contraceptive pills can lead to intermenstrual spotting due to hormonal fluctuation.
By maintaining regular timely intake of pills without missing this problem can be prevented to some extent.
Take care.
