Hello and welcome to HCM,
Frequent urination and pain in lower abdomen suggests urinary tract infection.
You need to get urine test for detecting infection.
If infection is present appropriate antibiotic needs to be instituted.
Light spotting after sexual activity could be due to cervical lesion like cervical erosion, ectropion or inflammation.
You need to consult your gynecologist for examination of cervix and perform relevant investigations.
Thanks and take care
