Q: Period Problems

Hi, I am 16 years old, and until a few months ago I have had mostly regular and problem free periods since I was 12. For the past 3-4 months all i've had is brown discharge with small signs of blood, and very irregularly, even twice a month. It is very light and lasts about 2 days. I am not sexually active, don't take birth control pills or have any serious health problems. About 3 months ago I became a vegetarian, I have no idea if this has anything to do with it. I'm not sure if I should be concerned but I would really like to get my periods back to normal. Thanks for any help.

Brownish discharge a few times a month=spotting.

You said that these changes sort of coincided w/ when you became a vegetarian. According to what i've read, sometimes dietary changes can cause your period to be altered--even stop entirely.
Another thing to keep in mind is that you're 16 years old, and you're still growing. Many girls your age have highly irregular periods.

I suggest talking w/ your physician about it, he/she will be able to give you the best advice.
