A member asked:

I have a brownish thick mucus post menstrual discharge a week after menses. then its clear and i am normal. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely: If the brownish mucus only lasts about a day, it's likely due to ovulation. Some women tend to bleed a little at ovulation time. If it last more than a day or so, then there is likely another cause, and it would be best to see your doctor.
