What Causes Dark Brown Discharge In Periods?
Hi doctor,
I am 26 years old and married on Dec 2009. I have a delay in my periods for 7 days and took a pregnancy test at a hospital. The doctor told that the result in weakly positive. Now i am having periods, but its black/ dark brown and sometimes like normal blood color. What does that mean?

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the abnormal pregnancy like any miscarriage might be ruled out.The causes of brown discharge are thyroid abnormalities,progesterone insufficiency,any abnormal pregnancy like chromosomal abnormalities or any other ,bleeding from cervix etc.So the above causes should be ruled out.Ultrasound and thyroid profile might be needed.Avoid stress,physical strain and intercourse.Take rest.
