Question 1

what is the brown discharge in my underwear from?

Accepted Answer

Female?: Brown discharge often contains older, deoxygenated blood ; may be seen after the period.

Question 2

what do you call the brown
discharge in my underwear??

Accepted Answer

Old Blood: It is most likely old blood from your previous menstrual cycle. This is not uncommon for many women as your uterus, cervix, and/or upper vagina can retain some blood from your last period and while it's there it turns brown and then will eventually leak out, often mid-cycle and cause what you are now experiencing. Shouldn't be anything to worry about.

Question 3

i've recently been getting brown discharge in my underwear but when i go to the bathroom to wipe its nothing there. i don't know what's goings on and im scared ?

Accepted Answer

Spotting: It is most likely spotting related to your menstrual cycle. Usually nothing to worry about. You should let your doctor know. Take care!

Question 4

i noticed a slight brown discharge in my underwear yesterday. i missed my periods too. whay can it be about?

Accepted Answer

Could be: Missing periods and a brown discharge could be due to some contraceptive methods or could be due to pregnancy. Start with a pregnancy test and, if it is negative, repeat it in 3-5 days to be sure. If it is still negative see your PCP or GYN  for a full history, exam,and appropriate testing to find out what is going on in your case. Hope this helps.

Question 5

i have a brown discharge in my underwear. it's kind of heavy and has been happening for about 2 days. i'm 16 years old and have regular periods. help.

Accepted Answer

Brown: It sounds like old blood. If it persists take a sample to your doctor and be checked. Sometimes a foreign body will create the same symptoms. All the best.

Question 6

yesterday i was spotting little. i would had some light pink/brown discharge on my underwear but when i would wipe none at all. n today don't .i'm irreg?

Accepted Answer

Spotting: See your doctor for the possibility of a vaginal infection. Cultures may be necessary.

Question 7

yesterday i had light pink/ brown discharge when i wiped but not on my underwear. today i wiped and had a lot and then i looked and had some on my underwear that i changed into around 3pm after a shower and im cramping. im 4 months late thought?

Accepted Answer

Miscarriage: You should take a pregnancy test. If you are 4 months pregnant, you have missed a lot of OB care and testing.  Some light spotting is normal, heavier bright red bleeding and cramping can indicate a miscarriage. At 4 months you need to see a Dr in person to see if you are miscarrying and if all the products of conception have been expelled. Retention can cause significant infection.

Question 8

hi there. recently after having sex (or being fingered) with my boyfriend i notice a light pink brown discharge following. its not every time and its only noticable when i wipe myself after going to the bathroom, as it doesn't go onto my underwear or anyt

Accepted Answer

Local irritation: This is probably just some local irritation and I would not worry about it. It should resolve fairly quickly. If not, see an MD for exam.

Question 9

i had a sex with my bf last friday and then this morning i had a really bad cramps, then when i pee my pee is like orange yellow. and i just checked my underwear now i saw a little of light brown discharge. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Infection: I would be suspicious for some type of infection. You should be seen.

Question 10

so i have not gotten my period yet but i have gotten some red and brown discharge in my underwear. what does this mean? when i wipe nothing is there just little yellow discharge but in my underwear it is brownish red what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Do you mean: Do you mean that you have been having periods and this one is late or that you haven't started having periods at all. These are 2 very different questions. If this ia a late period, pregnancy is possible but if you are 17 and haven't started having periods at all that could be more serious and you need to be seen and checked out for the possible cause. Hope this helps.
