A member asked:

I had a miscarriage one week ago. i was 3 weeks. the bleeding has stopped, only some brown when i wipe and only some times. can my husband&i have sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Abstain: Brown discharge could mean some dried blood. I would unfortunately abstain until you are not spotting as this is a sign your body is still healing. Good luck.
