What Is The Cause And Treatment For Abnormal Menstruation?

Hi, hope you are good! I am a 22 year old girl & I have been having a weird menstrual cycle since last year november! I start getting dark brown stringy spotting which leads to a period and the whole process is around 20 days and this stops for 6-7 days but starts again (i would like to mention that i took a lot of medication before i started having this problem which was rifaxamen and ciproxan for sibo and leaky gut) . It settled down in january but started again last month when my grand father got really ill....it lasted longer then usual and stopped for 10 days and i am having the same issue again! I have no pass record of period irregulation or anything, no other symptom, no pain when i get my period like this but when i normally get my period there are cramps! But when like this no cramps or disscomfort or foul smell no nothing! I did gain a lot of weight since last year the recovery of sibo and leaky gut that is! I am insanely stressed help me....

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

To me you should get a more specialized consultation with gynecologist, and run further tests to identify the cause including:
- Complete blood count to rule out anemia
- Blood hormonal balance
- Gynecological examination and ultrasound

Discuss this further with your caring doctor to start consultation and lab tests as soon as possible.

All the best. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
