Hello I’m 49 Years Old And Been Having Irregular Period
Question: Hello I’m 49 years old and been having irregular period for a while. I haven’t had a period for 3 1/2 months and now i got a period but only comes out when i urinate. Very little is on the pad and it’s a brown color. Is this normal
Brief Answer:
Just normal perimenopauseal event
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
This situation of brown blood discharge after 3 and half months without a period is quite normal during perimenopause.
The brown colour shows that it is a small quantity of blood and remaining longer in vagina it turns brown. During perimenopause a hormone imbalance is caused making this absence of periods for 3 and 1/2 months.
You are in menopause only when you have a full year without a period and a bloody discharge after a year should be a concern.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
