A member asked:
My period has been irregular and is both red and brown, depending on the day. is there something wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Color of blood: Bright red bleeding means fresh/new blood. Brown is old blood. With you bleeding irregularly, it is not unusual to see blood in different stages, however, irregular bleeding should be worked up by a physician.
