What Causes Light Vaginal Spotting?
Question: I have slight spotting of bright red blood from my vagina
Brief Answer:
you should see a Gynecologist!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Vaginal spotting in an elderly lady like you should never be ignored(even though it's just been a day). It must be thoroughly investigated.
Causes may range from hormonal changes, infection, anatomical changes of the female genital tract and even some malignancies of the genital tract. I will recommend that you take an appointment with your OBGYN for investigations irrespective of whether it (the slight spotting) continues or not.
I wish you well and please keep me updated on the outcome of the visit.
Kind regards
