Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Yes, changes in physical activity and changes in weight can affect the hormonal balance and can lead to menstrual irregularity.
So if your spotting continues or increases you consult gynecologist once and get examined.
You may need hormonal pills to regularize the cycle.
If the spotting subsides early, you observe the next cycle if that is regular you may not need any treatment.
For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429
Take care.
