Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the tubal ligation has nothing to do wth irregular menses as it is being carried out a long time back.

* Following can be possible reasons for current vaginal spotting irregularly
- hormone imbalance between estrogen and progesterone
- vaginal infection
- systemic medicines as steroids or else, hampering vaginal flora
- fungal, bacterial or viral lesions
- lack of hydration with urinary tract infection and secondary vulva involvement
- sexually transmitted infections ( if active and performing unprotected sex activities ).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
