Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Obgyn consult: A vascular cyst and an endometrioma are too different things. Probably the best thing to do is to schedule a visit with an Obgyn to evaluate this as neither of these really cause irregular spotting and brown discharge. Brown is usually old blood.
