What Causes Irregular Periods And Brown Vaginal Discharge?

Hello. I'm a nineteen year old girl. My periods have stopped and I haven't had one for almost six months. And I will only say this once. I AM A VIRGIN. I still experience brown discharge from time to time, but no cramping or pain or any kind. Can you tell me what might be the causes and what treatment I should seek.

Hi..Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

Brown discharge from vagina most probably is due to menstruation. This is absolutely normal. You should have this discharge every 25 to 35 days. This discharge should last from 3-6 days in total. Cramping or pain may be present during menstruation in some girls, but its absence is not a problem.

If you are having brown vaginal discharge regularly every month or so. You are okkay.
If discharge is happening irregularly & lasts for less than 2 days or more than a week, then it is a problem. In this case you should consult a gynaecologist.
Most common cause of irregular periods are Hormonal problems like Hypothroidism, Poly cystic ovary disease, sudden weight change etc.

Hope this information helps.
