What is the difference between Spotting and Period? – Spotting VS Period
Menstruation, or period, is normal vaginal bleeding that occurs as part of a woman's monthly cycle. Every month, your body prepares for pregnancy. If no pregnancy occurs, the uterus, or womb, sheds its lining. The menstrual blood is partly blood and partly tissue from inside the uterus. It passes out of the body through the vagina.
Spotting refers to very light vaginal bleeding or brown discharge that occurs mid-cycle between menstrual periods. Spotting is often harmless but can also be an indication of a problem that warrants attention by a healthcare professional for instance in cases of sexually transmitted infection (STI), or uterine fibroids (growths in the uterus). It can occur between periods, during pregnancy, after sex, or after a gynecological exam.

[madelynk]

I had spotting after 6 days of period and this is my first time 😭 what should I do..?

[ascoroid]

what if you have irregular periods, but you generally spot at the same time before your period?
my period doesn't come every month like it should, but a lot of the time, i have cramps and some red/brown spotting or discharge (can't really tell the difference) a couple weeks or a week leading up to my period, so i was wondering why that is?
