What Causes Light Pink Spotting With Clear Discharge Between Periods?
I am 40 and just finished a period a little over a week ago. My periods are regular and I NEVER spot between periods, but today I noticed light pink spotting mixed with clear thin discharge. Should I be worried? Last time this happened I ended pregnant, but I ve read about certain cancers having this symptom.

Hi,
Blood spotting between periods can be due to various reasons like hormonal imbalance, cervical erosion polyp. These can be diagnosed with physical examination & few needful investigations.
Yes, cervical cancer also has intermenstrual spotting... and that can be excluded/diagnosed by PAP smear examination. Consult your gynecologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
