A member asked:

I've had my period this month and now have had dark brown vaginal bleeding for almost four days now and painful cramps. should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Only a bit: If your prior period was normal, the cause is lkely hormonal and not serious. Aleve (naproxen) will help the cramps. If your next period is on time and normal and if this pattern does not recur, you can be sure it was not a significant problem.
