Spotting Before Periods
Question: Spotting before periods
Brief Answer:
Can be a hormonal abnormality.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Mild spotting before the actual beginning of the period can be a sign of impending periods. This can be related to mild hormonal disturbance or stress also. Using hormonal tablets irregularly can also cause such issues. Wait for a few days for the actual periods to begin. In case the problem is recurrent then consider consulting your gynecologist for a few tests and proper prescription medicines.
Hope this answer is helpful.
Any further follow up queries are welcome.
