  3. Our software and our Marketing Engineering staff review each answer and optimize your answers for keywords valuable to your specialty. It is a well kept secret that doctors (you) - not SEO consultants - are the ones who have the most valuable content prized by search engines. Ask DoctorBase "unlocks and optimizes" your content in the most efficient manner possible with today's technology.
  4. Finally, the doctor who provides the most popular answer - "the Featured Answer," gets an added benefit by allowing patients to write rave reviews about your expertise - reviews that are submitted to both Google and Google Local through our Preferred Data Provider relationship.

Discharge

My period started on September 21, it was a little lighter than normal, and went a full week. When I thought it was done I started having brown discharge. It has now been happening for over a week. I occasionally have light cramping but no other pain or discomfort. What could be causing this?

At your age and what you are taking - MORE than likely this is the TRI and the Lo version of your birth control - use REGULAR ortho cyclen (not the TRI and NOT the Lo version).
Brad Douglas
Irregular bleeding is common on Tricyclic birth control pills and usually respond to a constant dose pill such as OrthoCyclen or other constant dose pills. See you doctor.
Bryan J Treacy MD
If the discharge has bad smell,it could be infection. In any event,should see your doctor.
