Brief Answer:
Diagnosis needs to be confirmed
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Brown spotting after periods can be due to local lesions in the cervix or the vagina, or can be due to hormonal disturbances like progesterone deficiency.
Local lesions like polyp, infection, premalignant or cancerous lesions can be diagnosed by proper internal examination and pap smear.
I will suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, investigated and treated accordingly.
I will suggest you not to take excessive stress as cancerous lesions are highly unlikely in your age group.
So, get properly treated after proper examination and investigations.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
