Hi,
Thanks for the query.
According to your description, the possibilities causes for your irregular spotting are :
- Hormonal imbalance leading to intermenstrual spotting.
- If there is any possibility of pregnancy, better to rule out miscarriage once.
- Local causes like cervical erosion, polyps etc.
So once consult gynecologist, get examined.
By examination local causes can be ruled out.
If your doctor suggests go for ultrasound, hormonal profile including estrogen, progesterone, LH, FSH, thyroid profile etc.
By this workup the possible cause for your problem can be identified and treated.
Hormonal imbalance can be treated with external supplementation or hormones.
Local causes may need minor surgical interventions.
Take care.
