What Causes Irregular Periods And Brown Vaginal Bleeding?
Hi, I have always had an irregular period cycle since younger. But last month I was supposed to get my period, and I thought I did but it was brown almost black, but my period is always just spark red so it was weird, now it hasn t even been a month and I m still producing that brown fluid. I have to mention I m 21 years old and I have never had sex, so I don t think it has to do with being pregnant. I m a bit worried because it s a bit weird, I ve never been to the gyno, but it s something serious or suspicious I will go, I just want to hear some opinions

Hi,
Thanks for asking. I understand your concern.
The brown bleeding & irregular periods in your case could be -
- PCOD / ovarian or thyroid problem/infection of vagina- cervix carried to pelvis ( infection could be due to neglect at genital hygiene ) or general infection like TB.
Needful expert examination & investigations would help in pin pointing the cause.
Thanks
