Hi,
Unusually light menstruation and severe nausea can be caused by several factors, and it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis. However, some possible causes may include:
* Hormonal imbalances: Changes in hormones can cause changes in menstrual bleeding patterns and also trigger nausea. Hormonal imbalances can be caused by factors such as stress, weight fluctuations, or certain medical conditions.
* Pregnancy: Nausea and light or irregular periods can be signs of pregnancy. If you are sexually active and have missed a period, it's recommended to take a pregnancy test.
* Medication: Certain medications, such as birth control pills, can affect menstrual bleeding patterns and cause nausea as a side effect.
* Infections: Certain infections, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, can cause abdominal pain, nausea, and changes in menstrual bleeding patterns.
It's important to speak with a healthcare professional if you are experiencing these symptoms, especially if they are persistent or severe. They can help determine the underlying cause and recommend the appropriate treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,
Once a while, changes in menstrual pattern is very much normal and does not require any treatment. However, if the irregular or changed pattern continues for a long time i.e., more than 3-4 cycles or the bleeding is heavy and continuous, then management under guidance of your doctor is advised.
Brown blood usually denotes old blood, which has taken a long time to be cleared from lining of uterus. It is usually, in the beginning or at the end of the menstrual flow. This is usually visible in presence of a light flow of menstrual discharge.
