Are Spotting For 5 Days Before The Period Due Date And Brown Discharge Serious Concerns?

Posted on Wed, 9 Feb 2022

Question: Spotting for 5 days before period is due. Brown discharge and due for period tomorrow. Not enough to use a tampon or stain underwear.

Answered by Dr. Dr. Rakhi Tayal (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Can be a mild hormonal disturbance.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

The mild spotting that you are having prior to the periods can be related to a mild hormonal disturbance. This is indicative of impending period. Usually no active treatment is needed. It is best to wait till your next periods and in case this happens again then hormonal treatment may be needed after consulting a gynecologist.

Thank you. So do you think that I will have my proper period this month that is due tomorrow or is the spotting the pweiod for this month?

You will have a normal period.

Hello,

Spotting is not the period. You will get your proper period in next few days. The period may be delayed due to the hormonal disturbance.
