Spotting between periods

Awaiting clinical review

Light spotting can happen for harmless reasons, but repeated bleeding between periods should be checked.

Spotting can occur around ovulation, with hormonal contraception, or after sex. It can also be a sign of infection or other conditions.

When to seek medical assessment

  • Bleeding after sex or after menopause.
  • Spotting that keeps happening.

Practical next steps

  • Log spotting separately from your period.
