A member asked:

Is it normal for vaginal discharge to appear brown a few days after my period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Brown discharge: Old blood that remains in the vaginal canal after a period may turn to a brown color and then be passed with the natural cleansing action of the body. It shoulod only be for a very few days. If this lasts a long time or associated with pain you may want to get checked.
