What Causes Brown Discharge In Periods?

Hello, my partner and I are trying for another child although finding it difficult to even get days to do the deed as I ve been spot bleeding alot. As far as I can find out it is old blood as it is brownish in colour, I have been getting this every few days (& not alot of it) but this last week has been every day and abit more than normal. Our first is 3yrs old, I had a mirena coil in for roughly two years but had a little comfort and period trouble with that. Got the mirena taken out and was back on the pill for about 3-4 months and have now been off the pill again for 4 months so far. Any ideas what is causing this? Thanks for taking your time to look at my enquiry :)

Hi,

You should visit a gynecologist to see the causes of bleeding.

Anatomical causes like fybromyoma or polyp of uterus and colon should be excluded to say that there is a hormonal problem. 4 months is too early to claim infertility problem, you should try for a year.

Hormonal imbalance may be the cause due to frequent change of the contraception method.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
