What could be wrong if you have had light spotting for a month?

Light spotting for a month can happen for several reasons, some of which may not be cause for concern, such as recent hormonal contraception changes or certain medications. However, persistent or abnormal spotting outside regular menstrual periods warrants evaluation by a healthcare provider, especially if other symptoms are present (e.g., pelvic pain, changes in bleeding patterns). Potential causes could include hormonal imbalances, infections, underlying medical conditions, or uterine issues, and early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial to ensuring overall health and well-being.
