Why are my periods dark brown?

Patient's Query

Why period are dark brown

Answered by Dr. Nisarg Patel

Dark brown period is actually quite common and usually nothing to be overly concerned about. The dark brown color can happen when blood takes a bit longer to leave your body, causing it to darken. It could be due to the blood being older or from a lighter flow. In fact, it can also be influenced by hormonal changes, stress, or even diet. However, if you notice a significant change in your period color, experience severe pain, or other unusual symptoms, it's a good idea to reach out to a gynecologist just to rule out any underlying issues.

Male | 25

It is necessary to treat infections in pregnancy because they can hurt both you and the baby. If a doctor prescribes it, ceftriaxone sulbactum is safe to use at 30 weeks. Your urine culture revealed that you have high amounts of staphylococcus aureus bacteria which causes UTIs (urinary tract infections). By taking the medicine as directed, the infection will be fought off and will ensure the safety of the mother and the unborn child.

I am currently on the Evra birth control patches. I put one on once a week for three weeks and on the 4th week I wear none and get my period. However I am on holidays and forgot to bring my patches. I currently have my week 1 patch on and the time has come to change it, what should i do ?

Female | 18

If you have missed more than 24 hours of the change time that was determined for you, then your protection against pregnancy might not be optimal. It is therefore advisable to use an alternative contraceptive method for the next one week and immediately seek medical attention from your obstetrician-gynecologist. They can also tell you what to do further and ensure that you are still safe from pregnancy.
