What Could Cause Delay In Periods For Over A Month ?
please help I haven't had my period in almost a month my discharge is a dark brown color and has a metallic smell to it. There is no cramping or anything. I did have a period last month I haven't been sexually active for over five months. What could this mean?
Hello, If you happen to have regular 28-30 day cycles all through, this alteration in the menstrual pattern in the absence of any pregnancy could mean a hormonal imbalance resulting in a breakthrough bleeding. This can happen when there are sudden weight disturbances, stress, infections, use of certain medications, hormonal disorders like polycystic ovaries etc. Please see a specialist for a clinical evaluation and also get a trans-vaginal sonogram, a pap smear and urinalysis to clarify the situation. Hope this helps.
