A member asked:

I had a regular period i got my period again same month with very painful cramps heavier flow brown blood it comes and goes. what could be the reason?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Some possibilities: Irregular bleeding is common. Generally due to a variation in the hormone secretion but when accompanied by pain, then one needs to be seen to rule out a cyst, infection, pregnancy or endometriosis.
