A member asked:
What could explain a dark brown discharge that later turned into a clear mucus discharge following a pelvic exam?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Taking a pap smear: Scraping the surface of the cervix to take a pap smear sometimes causes a little spotting that you may see in the next few days as a brown discharge. The clear mucous discharge may be a return to normal, especially if you are midcycle and having "fertile mucous". I would not be concerned unless the brown discharge recurs or persists or develops an odor.
