I'm using the ginoring contraceptive disc for the first time. I put it in correctly on the first day of the cycle, the period went normally, but every day (today it is 13 days since the system was laid out) I observe brown mucus. I will add that I had cytology done before I started ginoring and everything turned out well. Apart from the spottings, nothing hurts me, I have no other disturbing symptoms. What could this brown spotting mean, and should I urgently go to the gynecologist?

Both the premature occurrence of bleeding (spotting) from withdrawal and persistent spotting after putting on the disc is a similar problem referred to as "mid-cycle spotting", i.e. spotting that occurs despite the fact that it is not time to discontinue the disc. According to the answer given in the thread linked: "During the period of use of Ginoring, some women may experience unexpected bleeding or mid-cycle spotting (outside the period of interruption in the use of the disc)". In some patients, these are incidental spotting, in others spotting persisting for many days, and sometimes even stronger bleeding. Spotting is particularly likely at the beginning of the use of hormonal contraception, including the Ginoring disc and results directly from the action of hormones from the preparation on the endometrium, i.e. the endometrium. They often disappear within three months of starting to use the method - this is the "adaptive" period, after which the patient's body generally gets used to the supply of hormones from the outside. If spotting or bleeding is persistent, then of course it is not worth waiting three months. Most likely, this is the nature (a side effect of hormones) of the spotting observed by you. However, if it persists without any interruption and you are concerned about it - then in fact please go to the gynecologist, because only a direct examination can confirm that this is an adverse effect of the disc, and not a gynecological problem. In general, chronic spotting is burdensome and in the long run may promote anemia, so even if the examination does not show anything, it is worth talking about how you use this method.

The answer placed under the link concerns another problem, significantly different from the question asked above. The problem described above concerns constant spotting, and the patient from the question at the link has a problem with too early withdrawal bleeding.
