Hi,

After the delivery or abortion, it might take some time for regularization of the menstrual periods because the fluctuation and reproductive hormone levels. The spotting you are experiencing could be due to:
- Inter-menstrual or premenstrual spotting due to reproductive hormonal imbalance.
- Local lesions like cervical erosion, polyp, etc.
- Rarely retained products of conception can present as spotting.

If spotting converts into the regular menstrual flow you may not need any specific treatment. If the spotting persists or recurs, better to get examined. By clinical examination and ultrasound the possible cause of your problem can be identified and treatment can be taken accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sree Gouri S. R., OBGYN
