Dr. Bharat Joshi
I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

Bleeding or spotting between periods, like you’re describing, can happen for several reasons. Given the context you’ve provided—taking an emergency contraceptive pill after having intercourse within 48 hours—one possibility is that the spotting could be a side effect of the pill itself. Emergency contraception can sometimes cause hormonal changes, leading to unexpected bleeding or spotting between periods. This is not uncommon and usually not a cause for alarm.

Another factor to consider is the natural variation in menstrual cycles. Many women experience occasional spotting due to minor hormonal fluctuations or changes in their routine, stress levels, or overall health. If the spotting is a one-time occurrence, it might not indicate a serious issue. However, if you notice this kind of bleeding repeatedly, or if it’s accompanied by pain or other symptoms, it would be a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider.

Your recent sexual activity also raises the need to consider infections, such as sexually transmitted infections (STIs), which can sometimes cause post-menstrual or intermenstrual spotting. If there’s any possibility of exposure, getting tested would be a wise move to rule this out.

If the spotting continues, or if you’re otherwise concerned, keeping a record of your menstrual cycle, any symptoms you experience, and any medications or supplements you take can be very helpful during a medical consultation. This will provide valuable information that can help your doctor make a more accurate diagnosis. If your spotting is light and not accompanied by severe cramping or any other urgent symptoms, monitoring it for now could suffice, but if you feel any doubt, it’s always safe to reach out for professional medical advice.
