Is a dark brown or blood-like discharge lasting for 10 to 15 days a sign of period, or any other disease?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am 30 years old. From the age of 23 or 24, my period gap was 45 to 60 days. I was on medication for almost two years. All the tests are done and there is no sign of PCOS. But from some time there is dark brown or blood-like discharge but not periods. It looks like a type of white discharge mucus or clot and lasts for 10 to 15 days. Is it period or any other disease?

Kindly help.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome) is not the only cause of oligomenorrhea and hypomenorrhea. There are many other reasons for that, which must be ruled out. Have you done your thyroid profile and checked prolactin levels before this? If not, then please get it done. Taking progesterone for withdrawal bleeding is not a solution you should take proper treatment for this so that there would not be any problem with your fertility. The spotting could be your menstruation but scanty type. It would have been more helpful if you attached the previous reports.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your reports, but these reports are from almost a year back. Even if that time they were normal, you should check these every six months because after stopping treatment prolactin and thyroid levels might fluctuate. May I know whether you are married or not? If you are married then are you trying for a baby? To regulate your periods you should again start a hormonal course.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I would suggest planning for a baby because it might take a long time to conceive. Please repeat your thyroid profile, prolactin level, and ultrasound. We will start the treatment accordingly.

Thank you.
