Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry about .
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
It is common to have mild spotting or an occasional discharge during peri menopause.
Please do not worry about it.
Plus, the recent exercise also can precipitate it.
If you have post coital spotting or a lot of erratic spotting, you can go for an internal exam by a gynecologist, a Pap smear and a pelvic ultrasound scan.
All the best.
Please feel free to discuss further.
