Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There are many possible causes and most common is a hormone imbalance. While some causes may be easy to treat, others can indicate a serious underlying condition.

If you notice spotting or heavier bleeding in between periods, it’s important to see your doctor for testing, diagnosis, and treatment options. Potential other causes of bleeding between periods include a growth in the uterus or cervix, stress and change in medications miscarriage, vaginal dryness. Your doctor will also likely give you a physical exam, including a pelvic exam.

Diagnostic tests can help your doctor find the cause of the bleeding. Your doctor may draw blood to check hormone levels. Then right treatment can be recommended.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
