Hello Doctor,
I have been experiencing light spotting for about a month now. There are no cramps or pain at all. I’m a bit concerned because this has never happened before. What could be the reason for this, and should I be worried?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out Dr. Galen, Please find the below response to your query.
1. The next important step is to have a specialist review your menstrual history in detail. After a thorough physical examination, the doctor will determine which tests are needed. These typically include a Pap smear to screen for cervical changes, an ultrasound to examine your uterus and ovaries, and blood tests to evaluate your hormone levels.
2. Spotting can be caused by various factors, including infections of the internal reproductive organs, lesions, sexually transmitted infections, or in rare cases, malignancy. Hormonal imbalances are also a common cause of irregular spotting. Once the examination and test results are available, the specialist will be able to provide a diagnosis and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
Thanks
