Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
As pregnancy is reasonably ruled out, other factors for an abnormal period should be considered.
These are commonly - anxiety , stress, weight gain or weight loss, hypothyroidism, travelling, late nights, erratic eating habits, smoking, drinking, ingestion of hormonal medications , polycystic ovarian disease etc.
In your case, the stress might be causing this.
If the spotting does not stop within a few more days, please consult a gynaecologist.
Go for internal exam - per vaginum and per speculum and a pelvic transvaginal ultrasound scan.
Also hormonal levels - FSH, LH, TSH, Prolactin, OGTT, DHEAS, Free testosterone, Lipid profile etc.
This should reveal a diagnosis .
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further.
