Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on health care magic.
Spotting at the age of 57 is not considered good.
You need to be completely examined by a Gynecologist.
Also get a transvaginal ultrasound to know the endometrial thickness.
If it is more than 4 mm, you need to be further investigated.
Hope this helps.
regards,
Dr Nilofer
