What Causes Light And Brown Periods Along With Stomach Bloating?

Hi. I m wondering why my period was only two days long. The first day it was very light and dark brown. The second day was still fairly light but red blood. Then it went away that evening. I also didn t have any cramps, which is unusual. I had unprotected sex ten days prior. Lately I feel like my stomach is bloated, it s been about 6 days since my period ended. Is this an irregular period?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Light & brown periods with stomach bloating may be indicative of PCOS, hormonal imbalance, side effects of certain medications, old blood is commonly brown in colour.

You are suggested to get clinically examined by a gynae, get blood tests, Urinalysis & the required imaging tests done.

Since you had unprotected sex, if you were not on regular CP & did not take emergency CP, you can be pregnant.

You can get urine or blood test for pregnancy done or your gynae can tell you to get USG(Uterus) done so that he factor causing discomfort can be detected.

In the meantime you can take antacids to get relieve from bloating, avoid fried, oily, junk food & addictions if any.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K
