What Is The Reason For Having Abnormal Period?
I am 18, 49kg, 155cm. I had an abnormal period length in this month. I had my period somewhere around 27th November up to 12th December. After that it was clear and I ignored it. Recently, I had a slimy brown discharged and it was smelly. This morning, I had my period again. I usually wear pads, but somewhere around October, I wore tampons. Then on November when I wore pads again, I got itchings, but that problem has cleared too.

Hello
This is known as irregular bleeding with dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
This is first time so ignore it .
If it recurs then may be due to .
1 Hormonal imbalance as this is the most common cause of such type bleeding. Diagnosis can be confirmed by estimation of level of estrogen, androgen, F SH /L H ratio.
2 Ovarian cyst is another most common cause . Diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound of both ovaries.
3 Fibroid in uterus is the most common cause . Diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound of uterus .
4 Smelly discharge may be due to infection . Diagnosis can be confirmewd by swab examination from vaginal discharge.
In my opinion consult a gynecologist if this bleeding recurs again and again.
Ignore it for 1-2 times as sometimes stress and tension develop such type of symptoms.
Good luck.
