A member asked:

If the brown discharge is old menstrual blood why do i have it 5-6 days after my period ended and not right after?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The blood pools: Because the blood is a small amount and pools in the posterior vagina. It looses it's oxygen content and becomes brown/black and drains from the vagina slowly. It should last 1 or 2 days. If it persist or has an odor then you should see your doctor because there may be an infection.
