While vaginal spotting can be a relatively normal thing for a woman to experience, if it is not typical of your menstrual cycle, you should consult with your physician. Sometimes, menstrual spotting is the result of an underlying problem or infection. *

Menstrual spotting that is irregular and not typical of your cycle can be the result of a sexually transmitted infection or disease (STI/STD), and without treatment, it will not go away on its own. Common STIs that have been known to cause spotting include bacterial infections such as chlamydia or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).

If you're experiencing irregular spotting between periods, it's important you see a medical practitioner so they can determine if testing is necessary.

Is it ok to wear a pad before starting your period?

You can wear whatever you want on your period, as long as the products you're using stop you from leaking there's no reason not to wear white shorts. Just make sure you're using correct absorbency, don't use super absorbency tampons if your flow isn't heavy enough to use such a high absorbency. You may want to try menstrual cups instead as these won't leak like tampons do.

Yes it is. Our bodies change every 7 years and much of it is hormonal. Sometimes stress may be the cause of it.

The birth control pill/patch can also cause this.
