I'm spotting for 3 weeks now?
I'm 31. I'm spotting for 3 weeks now. My period came and went (as usual ). Spotting continued.
This has never happened in my entire life. The only thing different from previous months is I'm training for a half marathon mire seriously than prior years ( I'm used to running in general ).
MY regular ob gyn physical showed no issues.
I'm worried.

- Endometrial hyperplasia
- Inflammation or infection of the cervix
- Cancer or precancer of the cervix, uterus, or (very rarely) fallopian tube
- Changes in Hormone levels
- Stress
- IUDs occasionally cause slight spotting
- Injury to the vagina from insertion of objects
- Malignant cancers
- Undiagnosed vaginal infections
- Certain drugs, particularly anticoagulants Vaginal dryness
- Cervical or endometrial biopsy or other procedures
- Some women have spotting during ovulation, which is normal
Call your health care provider or consult online doctors, if:
- You are pregnant
- There is any unexplained bleeding between periods
- There is any bleeding after menopause
- There is heavy bleeding with periods
- Abnormal bleeding is accompanied by other symptoms, such as pain, fatigue, dizziness
