Hello!
The main side effect of using aldactone as common with higher dose is
IRREGULAR MENSTRUAL CYCLE
I think that this is your problem.
To excluded other causes that give bleeding,if this episode repeated you should consult with your gyn, to do some examination,at least:
an ultrasound
PAP smear(if you do not have done within 1 year)
take care
