Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Irregular bleeding and spotting can be due to pregnancy or hormonal disturbance. I will suggest you to get a urine pregnancy test done. If negative, then you should get your thyroid, Prolactin hormone levels done and an ultrasound of the pelvis to confirm the diagnosis and get further treatment accordingly.
Regards,
Dr Deepti Verma
