A member asked:

I had brown spots of vaginal discharge 1 week after periods.it lasted for 4 days?why is it so?i had irregular periods.last period was on 13th sept.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Spotting: Brown discharge means very light bleeding is going on. If you are having irregular periods you should see a doctor or other provider to figure out the cause. There are several possibilities - perhaps a fibroid or polyp, polycystic ovarian syndrome, low grade pelvic infection - these are just a few.

Dr Rhoads and another doctor agreed
