Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 21-year-old female. Firstly, I have not had periods for two months, and then in the third month, I have brown discharge from the vagina, and I cannot stop the brown and red discharge. I have been suffering from this condition since last month.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Thanks for trusting us with your health care.

I am very sorry about your medical condition. Do not worry; I am here to take care of you. Regarding your symptoms, I believe you have irregular menstruation due to a hormone imbalance. Do you have any history of contraceptive pill use or abortion? Please undergo a hormone profile test and reply to me with the results. Meanwhile, kindly take the following:

  1. Tablet Medroxyprogesterone 10 mg once daily.
  2. Tablet Norethisterone 5 mg orally, to be started.

If your symptoms persist, please schedule another appointment for follow-up via chat, phone, or video consultation.

You can always come back and reach me at icliniq.com.

Thank you for consulting me.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
