Is it normal for menstrual flow to be light and brown in color?

Patient's question:

I used to have very regular periods, but recently, for some reason, they've been getting more and more off. There are issues with the timing, flow, and color. Could it be that I'm getting some kind of illness? Please ask: Is it normal for the menstrual flow to be light and brownish?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, it seems you have vaginal inflammation. It is recommended that you should quit the habit of sexual intercourse as soon as possible. Long-term sexual activity can lead to pelvic inflammation and vaginal inflammation. Wishing you good health.
The condition of having a small amount of menstrual flow is quite serious. It is advised that patients seek timely treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition. Thank you.
