Spotting

  • Hi Coffee 19

    I wonder if you mean atrophy?

    Atrophy is the thinning, dryness and irritation of vagina. It happens when oestrogen levels drop around menopause. It can also be an effect of certain cancer treatments. 

    With any spotting, it is important to get it checked out. I would suggest giving your CNS a call tomorrow and getting some advice. Sometimes spotting can be due to atrophy or after radiotherapy but it is also a sign that needs checking.
