Suggest Remedy For Missed Periods And Brown Discharge
I came off the depo in December.. And I haven t had a period since. I had bloods taken at the beginning of the august and the doctor said I ovulated in July (but not bleed) and she said the level of hormone left in my body is minimal. But last week I have a brown discharge when I wiped. Any ideas?

Hello,
You came off depo in December. You didn't get periods after that. Last week you had brown discharge. It looks like you are having scanty discharge. It can be a side effect of depo. Get Hb% done to rule out anemia. Get thyroid tests, PCOS, hormonal tests, etc., done to detect the pathology causing you symptoms. You can get a pregnancy test done with the first morning, mid-stream urine to rule out pregnancy.
Your treatment will depend on the pathology detected. You and your spouse may require doing few tests done if you are planning for a baby and to detect if you are ovulating. You can take uterine tonics or Ashokarishta, 2-3 tsps in half cup of water twice daily. Your periods may need to get induced. Take homemade food rich in iron and protein. Do regular walking, maintain healthy weight.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
