Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The mild spotting that you have can be due to a bacterial vaginal infection or due to your impending period. You can wait for a few days and see if it increases into a full period. In case the mild spotting persists then do consult your gynecologist for a vaginal swab culture and proper treatment.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
