Brown periods for long
I am a 28-year-old woman, 80 kg, with long-standing irregular periods. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism (TSH 10.4). In February, my gynecologist prescribed Primolut-N for 3 months and levothyroxine 50 mcg. My periods became regular while taking them but stopped after stopping Primolut-N. I lost 3 kg and my TSH improved to 4.5, but I continued having brown discharge instead of normal periods. Other tests were normal, so Primolut-N was prescribed again along with PCOD granules, and I continue levothyroxine 50 mcg. Since July 18, I have had brown discharge for 15 days, initially with small clots. In September, it returned with larger clots and continued for about 3 weeks . The flow is now very light, but I still see blood when wiping. I have no pain or other symptoms. I am currently outside India and cannot see my gynecologist. What could be causing this,and should i worry? I am having a boiler in my underarm for long time too its coming and going sometime with pus but always sore pain

Brown spotting with small clots is usually old blood breaking through irregularly, common when periods are managed with Primolut-N and thyroid medicine together. Your TSH improving to 4.5 is reassuring for the thyroid side, but three weeks of spotting with clots means the lining isn't shedding cleanly yet.
Next Steps
Keep taking the Primolut-N and levothyroxine as prescribed. Since you're abroad, ask your gynaecologist for a video consult, or see a local gynaecologist for a pelvic ultrasound if the spotting carries into next cycle. Get the underarm boil checked too, since recurring pus points to an abscess that may need draining.
Health Tips
See a doctor sooner if the bleeding turns heavy, you develop fever, or the boil keeps worsening.
