Delayed Periods. Brownish Discharge. Had Cramps After Periods. What Could It Be?

My periods this month was 2 weeks late. When it did come, it was lighter than usual, and more brownish in color. In the color remained so for the whole four days. About 3 weeks before my period, I was experiencing cramps on the lower left side of my abdomen . Just a dull tolerable discomfort that comes and goes. After my periods.. The cramping went on.... That is till today. I m planning to go to another obgyn , as my obgyn now doesn t seem to give me straight answers. She d always say its just air. I ve had a TVS lately and sure enough there wasn t anything alarming or unnatural down there. Can somebody pls shed light on my situation.. Thank you.

Hello,

2 weeks late period with dark brown discharge may sometimes indicate sign of miscarriage or old endometrial tissue with co-existence of vaginal infection / hormonal imbalance.

Here, you should undergo one blood test for beta HCG & repeat the TVS scan again to confirm/ exclude product of conception at the earliest.

In exclusion of pregnancy, other relevant investigations like complete hormone assay, blood sugar, vaginal swab test, endometrial biopsy etc are needed to be carried out. For this, you can consult with gynecologist for next line of management.

Avoid stress, take healthy diet with more vegetables/fruits, drink more water, keep bowel habit regular, maintain genital hygiene, control body wt and take sound sleep.
