The\u00a0spotting period\u00a0generally lasts for 1 to 2 days. However, depending on underlying health conditions, the span can get stretched. Besides indicating hormonal fluctuations, it can also indicate infections and vaginal bleeding, and perimenopausal spotting.

Pregnancy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotting is considered an early sign of pregnancy. This\u00a0light spotting before periods is referred to as implantation bleeding. Many women see spotting in their first trimester. This happens when the fertilised egg gets attached to the uterine lining and it occurs before or at the time you are expecting the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Implantation bleeding is much lighter than that of menstrual flow. You do not have to undergo any treatment for implantation bleeding. In case you experience pelvic pain or see heavy flow, go to a doctor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Ovulation\"><\/span><strong>2. Ovulation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the major\u00a0causes of spotting\u00a0is ovulation. It triggers hormonal changes, which can result in spotting outside regular periods. This\u00a0light spotting before\u00a0period\u00a0usually occurs for 14 days before menstruation. You can even see it during the mid-cycle. During this period, the progesterone level starts rising, and hence, it is common to experience spotting. If you notice sporadic bleeding during this phase, it is concerning, and you must take the doctor&#8217;s suggestion.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Do You Know?<\/strong> Spotting can also result from trauma. Spotting can be seen as a side effect of injury caused to your vagina or cervix. The injury can be from accidents, sexual abuse, medical procedures, etc.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Birth_Control_Pill\"><\/span><strong>3. Birth Control Pill<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking hormonal birth pills is also a major reason behind\u00a0spotting between periods. This is referred to as breakthrough bleeding. Spotting can occur in case you skip doses or change the type of birth control medication. Even if you take birth control over a long time, you will see spotting.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The presence of synthetic hormones in the pills regulates the menstrual cycle. Relying on other hormonal contraceptives like injections, pills, or IUDs, you can see spotting as the body tries to cope with the hormonal changes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Treat_Spotting\"><\/span><strong>How to Treat Spotting?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, we have discussed some of the ways by which you can prevent consistent spotting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Regulate_Your_Hormones\"><\/span><strong>1. Regulate Your Hormones<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/connect.healthkart.com\/what-to-eat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Following a nutrient-rich diet<\/a> and maintaining weight lowers the possibility of hormonal imbalance. Also, avoid eating junk food, try to stick to organic food, and include vegetables and grains in your diet. A healthy lifestyle can help in regulating the hormones.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Follow_a_Proper_Diet\"><\/span><strong>2. Follow a Proper Diet<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to have foods that are rich in iron like spinach, bananas, etc. Also include foods that are loaded with vitamin C. You can also have aloe vera, as it has the power to manage hormones and regulate periods<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Avoid_Doing_Heavy_Exercises\"><\/span><strong>3. Avoid Doing Heavy Exercises<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can avoid persistent\u00a0signs of spotting before periods\u00a0to some extent by avoiding doing intense workouts. Heavy exercises exert pressure in the pelvic region, which results in discharges and spotting. Instead, you can practise yoga and meditation to lower your stress levels.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, doctors might ask to alter the method of contraception or suggest a different birth control pill.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Expert\u2019s Tip<\/strong> If, with time the spotting is getting heavier or you are getting an unusual odour and you are facing vaginal irritation and discomfort, or you have a family history of reproductive cancer. Then, you need to consult a doctor as soon as possible.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Menstrual cycles and spotting are ruled by hormones.\u00a0Spotting before period\u00a0can also occur during ectopic pregnancy, polycystic ovary syndrome, miscarriage, endometriosis, etc. In rare scenarios, spotting can also be a symptom of cervical cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, there is no reason for you to take spotting before the period lightly. Usually, it is a common occurrence and a few home remedies, along with mild prescribed drugs, can cure this issue. But in all other cases, you must consult a doctor without any delays or hesitation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spotting before period\u00a0is a common occurrence and is generally harmless.
