I had a tubal after my 3rd child and have had normal periods since I had her which they last 3 days and end. however this month I had a period that was normal lasted 3 days and ended but a day later I started spotting and have been spotting going on two weeks now. should I be concerned.
Hello,
thanks for the query.
Bleeding between periods can be cause be diverse causes with potentially severe causes. Bleeding between periods warrants a detail investigation. Given your history of uterine cancer, bleeding out of menses becomes even more serious and should not be taken lightly as re-occurrence should always be excluded.
Other possible causes could include infections, fibroids or disequilibrium in hormone levels, birth control drugs etc.
You need to XXXXXXX your gynecologist for detail evaluation and appropriate tests.
Hope this helps you. If you have further query i will be glad to help,
Best regards
