What Causes Spotting, Bloating And Pain?

Hi. I usually have my period 5-7 days. This time it only lasted 2-3 days then I started some light spotting for a few days afterwards. I have also been bloated and having slight pains. I was wondering what could be the possible problems? Should I be worried that it could be something serious, such as an STD?

Hello,
These are progesterone withdrawal symptoms that you are experiencing and not any stds for sure. These are called PMS symptoms and can get aggravated due to increased stress during the cycle. The duration of menses can decrease and hence they may stop and restart, so just be patient and there is no real need to be worried. Just remain de-stressed.
Regards
