What Causes Brown Discharge In Periods?
Hello. I have been diagnosed with PCOS and have extremely rregular periods. My last period must have been just over 3 monhs bac. Lately I have just been spotting lightly. On Thursday I discovered that I have a dar brown discharge-not heavy. I only saw it when I wiped myself with tissue. On Saturday morning there was something like a normal blood clot and then back to the brown discharge. Should I be worried?

Hallow Dear,
It is a small trickle of blood that did not escape the uterus due to its quantity. Then it came out subsequently. Old blood is always brown.
In PCOS, the menses are usually irregular, delayed menses followed by profuse bleeding. However, occasionally trickle or spotting may take place which may come out after few days as brown discharge.
I do not think, there is any cause for worry. Just get your PCOS treated scientifically.
