Spotting is a type of bleeding. It occurs in women and is a light spot of blood. There are many cases where a woman will spot, including before a period starts, during pregnancy, and after giving birth. Bleeding occurs in men and women. It is a release of much more blood than spotting releases. Both genders, men and women, can bleed. Children can also bleed. Bleeding can occur from a cut on a finger to a more serious injury, such as a gunshot wound. Between the two, spotting is not as urgent to take care of as bleeding is, for bleeding can mean a much more serious condition.

Spotting is known to be a type of bleeding that may occur sometimes with women. One main difference between this with bleeding is that it will usually be light. There are also instances when the color of the bleeding is too light that you will not even need to wear pads or tampons.

When you are bleeding, it can mean different things. You may be bleeding from various parts of your body which means that there is an opening within your body that is oozing blood.

There are different reasons why you may be bleeding. It is best that you seek help for your bleeding issue immediately.
