What Causes Brown Discharge During Periods?

Hi, okay so my last period was from 16th Jan - 22nd Jan. I had Unprotected sex on the 6th of Feb and he ejaculated inside me. Since the 9th/10th Feb I have had constant brown discharge (only small amounts, not as much as I would bleed if I had my period) My period is due in a few days.. It is unusual for me to get my period early, and I have never had the brown discharge before getting my period! Is it a chance that I have this discharge because the egg has been fertilized? I would have been ovulating on the 6th... Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

You did unprotected sex during your ovulation or fertile period. Therefore, there is high chance of being pregnant.

Here, I suggest you to undergo one home pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy and implantation bleeding (brownish discharge). On positive test, one TVS scan is also advisable.

Other reasons are endometriosis, old blood, endometrial tissue, hormonal imbalance, stress/ depression, irregular diet habit, vaginal/ pelvic infection etc.

Please consult with your gynecologist for next level management of the case.

Maintain genital hygiene. Avoid stress. Practice safe sex in future. Good luck.
