Check w your doctor: Blood comes out brown when bleeding is very slow. Are you in pain?

Old blood: Typically brown discharge is just old, residual blood. It is inconvenient that is lasting a while, but it is not concerning. Are you on birth control? This can lighten your period. Some periods are just spotting/light flow.
