I have brown discharge coming from my vagina after my periods. my periods are regular and last about 7-9 days. i'm 17 and not sexually active.

Yes: Brown equals old blood. If this is right after your period then you are just passing some of the blood that has been siting at the back of the vagina. Nine-day periods are pretty long. You may want to consider birth control to help regulate and decrease the amount of bleeding.
