What does it mean when you've been getting brown discharge for a week?

Brown discharge: Brown discharge often contains older, deoxygenated blood ; may be seen after the period. It may be related to hormone imbalances. If you have a change in color, texture, odor or amount of vaginal discharge ; problems such as pain, itching burning with urination or sex or redness/swelling then it is best to see your gynecologist for evaluation ; accurate assessment.
