Normal...: After period there is still few " left over " red blood cells and when mixed with normal vaginal mucus it can create impression as browning mucous discharge. There is no worry unless have some vaginal discomfort or other concern. Avoid duchess  - it disturbs normal vaginal pH and flora ( lactobacillus) and can invite more egressive bacterias or yeast. maintain healthy diet and personal hygiene.

Many options : Irregular periods are one of the most common problems obgyns treat. If this is one time problem it usually resolves on its own. If this is a recurring problem you should be evaluated. Infections &  hormonal changes can cause spotting. If there is a concern for pregnancy then do  a home pregnancy test .  There are many options available to help regulate the menstrual cycle. Schedule a visit.

Question 5

i had a dark brown discharge one week after period ended? what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Normal: What you described is withing the normal spectrum of bleeding in menstrual period. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 6

it's also 8 months that i have dark brown discharge before and after period?is it dangerouse for my health?

Accepted Answer

Brown = Blood: A normal period lasts seven days or less. If you're having old brown blood before and after your period, then it's probably lasting more than seven days? I generally recommend seeing a doctor for an examination and possibly an ultrasound to check on this type of problem.

Question 7

have dark brown discharge two days after period ends and continuing for about five days now. usually the discharge lasts for one or two days the most?

Accepted Answer

Normal: The brown discharge is just broken down blood cells. At the end of your period, as the bleeding slows down blood stays in the vagina and starts to break down causing the brown discharge. If there is no burning, pain or itching then do not worry this is normal.

Question 8

43 ur old female, dark discharge after period. why?

Accepted Answer

Cleaning the Uterus: Sometimes the uterus has old de-oxygenated blood to rid itself of. This is dark or brown discharge and is a common post period process.

Question 9

heavy dark brown discharge 2wks after period accompanied by dizziness and intense cravings and hunger?

Accepted Answer

Progesterone: Sounds like symptoms due to hormone surges or imbalance. Get a gyn checkup and read up on pms and Progesterone deficiency.

Question 10

brown dark discharge 8 days after period, havent been sexually active why am i having this could i be getting my period again?

Accepted Answer

: Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.
