A member asked:

Why do i have dark brown vaginal discharge for several days after my period? it happens after every menstal cycle.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Menses: This simply may be delayed clearance of blood from the lining of the uterus, but the only way to evaluate this would be to do a pelvic exam. See your gynecologist.
