Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Mild brownish spotting from vagina after your periods are over might be a normal finding. It is not suggestive of pregnancy.
If this spotting is persistent or recurrent then other causes need to be evaluated like - uterine or cervical cause like uterine polyp, cervical dysplasia, chronic cervicitis, cervical polyp, vaginal bacterial infection, dysfunctional uterine bleeding. etc.
These can be ruled out by your gynaecologist by doing a PAP smear and a lower abdomen ultrasound scan.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
