irregular spotting

After a specifically bad (painful) period a few weeks ago, i have had spotting constantly. I have been on mycrogynon 50 for 4 years and have never had this happen before. The spotting is light blood and rare but enough for me to worry since it's never happened. I know a lot of females experience spotting, but should I be concerned? (i'm beginning to panic)

Thanks so much for that! Ive recently had a full examination and my thyroid is fine and there was no sign of pregnancy or miscarriage nor vaginal infection. I assume its to do with hormonal fluctuations so i will go back and take a look =) thank you so much for your help!

Hi there,
Any vaginal bleeding other than periods should be taken seriously. The causes are miscarriage, implantation bleeding, hormonal fluctuations, stress, low thyroid levels; any injury to the vagina, undiagnosed vaginal infections, malignant cancers etc.A complete medical history, pelvic examination may be helpful in arriving at a diagnosis. Additional tests like hormonal assay, thyroid tests, Pap smear may be done. Keep me posted.
Best luck and kind regards!
