What Does Vaginal Spotting Indicate?

Hi, Im 27 years old single and does not engage into sexual intercourse. My problem started when I was 21 y/o, I only menstruate every 6mos. Back then I was around 77-80 kg. My height is 165cm btw. I never went to a doctor but I know its not normal. Then my ccke changed october last year, it went from interval of 6 months to 2mos. I have spotting in between. On dec 2016, I had the heaviest period in my entire life which lasted for less than a month. This year, my mentrual cycle is much more worst than before. I dont know the interval and i still had spottings. This month, i experienced breast engorgement thats why i knew my period is coming. But, before my period came i did experienced continuous spotting . Now my period is not that heavy but, prolonged. Then I noticed a meat like discharged yesterday with blood, it wasnt soft, it was like literally a meat. It was hard as that. I ve been reaearching about it, and I was scared of what I learned. I am in a lot of stress because I think i have cancer. Cervical, ovarian or endometrial cancer. Pls can you give light to me if my hunch is correct. I will visit the doctor as soon as I am able. Thank you

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

When bleeding occurs for longer period than it is usually as in your case then there are few possible causes and most common is a hormone imbalance. PCOS is one of the causes of hormonal imbalance.While some causes may be easy to treat, others can indicate a serious underlying condition. Whether you notice spotting or heavier bleeding in between periods, it’s important to see your doctor for testing, diagnosis, and treatment options. Other potential other causes of bleeding between periods include a growth in the uterus or cervix, stress, change in medications, miscarriage, vaginal dryness. Your doctor will also likely give you a physical exam, including a pelvic exam. Diagnostic tests can help your doctor find the cause of the bleeding. Your doctor may draw blood to check hormone levels. Then right treatment can be recommened.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
