‘My period is late, but I’m spotting. I only notice it when I wipe. What is going on?’
Delayed periods and spotting can be caused by various factors such as hormonal changes, stress, and weight change. Dr. Kaishreen Khan suggests that it could be due to a light shedding of the uterus lining or a delay in the cycle. Pregnancy is a possibility, but medical attention is necessary for severe symptoms like pain, bleeding, or foul discharge.
