What Causes Brown Discharge During Periods?

I had unprotected sex on January 15th, the day after my period just ended. (It started on the 11th) and this month I was so worried, my breasts were hurting for a week and they seem a little bit bigger(the pain has gone away now that the four days of my "period" have gone). On the 5th I got what it seemed was my period (still scared) my periods are always irregular and by that I mean different days each month. The 1st and 2nd day there was red blood with a bit of brown which I presume is old blood, day 3 just a little bit of blood, day 4 just a light red when I wiped. And day 5 (never really happens) it kinda hurts down there and when I wipe from the front it's brown. Is this actual implantation bleeding rather than my period?

Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your query, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.

First of all do not panic.

Your day of unprotected sex is day 5 of the cycle. So there almost no chance of getting pregnant.
As you started your period in february, it indicates that there was no pregnancy.

Secondly, your other symptoms suggest PMS- premenstrual syndrome.
I will suggest to opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Include more fruits and salads in diet.
vitamin E, B LONG F, PRIMOSA one each at night for 3 months will be of help.

I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
