Hi,
Don't worry, many causes for spotting like endometrial hyperplasia or atrophy or infections of vagina or cervix or vaginal atrophy or polyps etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Please consult your gynecologist and get it done ultrasound abdomen, PAP smear and colposcopy etc., then treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
