cHi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this spotting that you noticed. I understand how anxious you can be with this. There are several different possible causes of spotting. Some can be of concern while others present no real health worries. Some of the possible causes are infections, bleeding from the vagina, cervix or uterus. Some tumors can cause this as well, some of which are malignant and others not. This is just to say there are so many different possible causes of this condition. until we know what the exact cause is, we cannot make specific recomendataions. I am happy you are already getting this looked into. In only a tiny proportion of persons would this turn out to be something very concerning like cancers.

No matter the outcome, we shall stand by you and make sure you receive the best possible treatment for this condition. You shall never walk all by yourself. Be relaxed and don't get too worried. The only way we could have addressed this problem is by identifying it. Feel comforted by this that we have had an opportunity to look into this.


I hope you find the above information helpful.I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and please feel free to ask for more clarifications and information if need be.
Thanks.
