A member asked:

I've recently had my period and now i'm noticing brown discharge. it's lasted for four days so far and doesn't seem like it's stopping soon. help!?

Retained tampon??: Sometimes women forget to remove a tampon (it happens surprisingly frequently) and this can cause a brown discharge. Check that out or go for an exam to see what is causing the discharge.
