What Could Be Causing Prolonged Light Spotting After Recent Menstruation?

Hello, I am having a light spotting for more than 5 days now. I would like to ask if what is the possible cause of this one. And is there any home remedies or medicine to cure this? I just finished my period last 24 of Oct. 2022 and then 07 November 2022 I got my spotting. In the morning it s a bit heavy and then as the day pass by its dissappearing.

Hello,

Spotting or bleeding between periods can occur due to hormonal imbalance. Other underlying health conditions that can cause bleeding between periods are stress, polyps, fibroids, infections, PCOS, STDs, thyroid dysfunction, implantation bleeding, etc. Get examined by a gynecologist. Get all required blood tests like urine test for pregnancy, hormonal tests, T3, T4, TSH, etc., done.

Get investigations (Ultrasonography) done. You will be given conservative treatment, with medications, will be advised therapy, surgery is only recommended when there is no response to treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
