A member asked:

I have brown vaginal discharge for the past four days. my last period was about two weeks ago. what could be causing this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your doctor: Brown discharges are not normal from the vagina and could reflect infection, contamination, or more esoteric things, you need a proper vaginal examination (speculum and all) to get this checked out. Could be old blood or even part of a tampon left behind.
