Question: Hi I always have irregularity in my menstrual flow But this month is different its coming very slow kinda brown the colour is not the normal red color It didnt rush like normal flow I only see little flow And my genital area is always itchy What could be the cause During my monthly flow I do feel pain but this time no pain at all
Answer: Hello and thanks for reaching out to Wellvis

Sorry about your symptoms Can I know how old you are Menses could be irregular during the first or last years of having a period

When you say always have irregularity how far back do you mean and could you kindly explain in terms of how many days your flow lasts and after it stops how long does it take to come back  Months Years As mentioned above age is important but remember if your period returns within 2135 days it is normal And if your bleeding lasts 37 days that is normal too In some people the normal is outside these ranges

With regards the brownish discharge when did that start happening Does it have a bad smell or no smell Are you sexually active These could point towards an infection
 What kind of bathroom do you use What material is your underwear made of Do you douche that is clean the inside of your vagina with soap or similar Shared bathrooms and unhygienic toilets put women are risk of infections too Wearing nylon underwear also promotes the growth of bad organisms Douching is a very harmful practice which kills the beneficial organisms in a womans vagina

If you could please provide answers to some of these it may benefit usso that we give you the best advice we can

However I urge you to visit a gynaecologist to have proper management She can provide optimum advice following the examination and investigations done

Hope this helps and thanks for using Wellvis
