Spotting happens when small amounts of blood escape the vagina between menstrual periods for women between. It is fairly common for girls starting their periods or women going into menopause in their mid-to-late forties.<\/p>\n
The cause of spotting is a drop in estrogen levels at the time of ovulation; this is the most common cause that we will be working with here. Other causes need to be treated differently and seen by your healthcare professional if the following ideas don\u2019t work. Other causes may include chemical birth control such as the pill, IUD, or other medication. It can also be pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) as well as endometriosis; watch for ectopic pregnancies or inflammation of the cervix, etc.<\/p>\n
Medical treatment of spotting varies greatly, but most often the pill is used to control the period (side effects); this does not solve the problem.
