Brief Answer:
Diagnosis needs to be confirmed

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Scanty bleeding and spotting during the periods can be due to hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism or can be uterine pathology like tuberculosis infection or adhesions in the uterine lining.
I will suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, investigated including ultrasound, hormonal profile and if required, hysteroscopy to diagnose the pathology and get appropriate treatment accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
