Best Answer

While vaginal spotting can be a relatively normal thing for a woman to experience, if it is not typical of your menstrual cycle, you should consult with your physician. Sometimes, menstrual spotting is the result of an underlying problem or infection. *

Menstrual spotting that is irregular and not typical of your cycle can be the result of a sexually transmitted infection or disease (STI/STD), and without treatment, it will not go away on its own. Common STIs that have been known to cause spotting include bacterial infections such as chlamydia or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).

*

If you're experiencing irregular spotting between periods, it's important you see a medical practitioner so they can determine if testing is necessary. Even if the spotting stops, testing for sexually transmitted infections is still a good idea, because bacterial infections will not go away without treatment even when/if the symptoms subside, and without treatment, prolonged infections can cause irreversible damage to the reproductive system.
