Hi,
The possible causes for the spotting are :
-According to your menstrual history, there is possibility of hormonal imbalance.
Hormonal imbalance can lead to intermenstrual spotting, prolonged spotting after cessation of menstrual flow etc symptoms.
- Post coital tear
- Local lesions like cervical erosion, polyps etc.
If the spotting subsides and if you get your next cycle as expected, no need to worry.
If the spotting continues or recurs in next menstrual cycles, better to get evaluated.
Go for examination, ultrasound and hormonal profile including estrogen, progesterone, LH and FSH.
With this workup the possible cause for your problem can be identified and treated.
Take care.
