Hi,
I have been diagnosed with PCOD. I am on metformin. I have been taking it for two months now. I have my periods regularly now. but this month I have started and its been a day and only sticky brown discharge is seen. I am not bleeding properly. Is there something to worry?

Hi,

Brownish discharge before the onset of period is normal. This could be dried blood or blood from previous cycles. You can wait for few more days for your cycles to start. Any history of smelly or excess vaginal discharge should be noted to rule out vaginal infections. Vaginal infections can also cause brownish discharge and antibiotics may be required. Anemia, hypothyroidism, crash dieting and vigorous exercise can also contribute to delayed or lighter periods.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
