A member asked:
Having very minor brown spotting instead of period blood. have pcos but not using any pill for it.wt can be the reason of this spotting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PCOS: With PCOS you do not ovulate regularly. When you don't ovulate you don't produce progesterone which stops the uterine lining from growing and makes it get mature. If the lining just keeps growing, it gets so thick that parts start breaking of and you start spotting or bleeding. Over time, this un opposed growth can increase the risk of cancer so you need to see you doctor for treatment.
