A member asked:

My cycle is 7 days when means yesterday ended my cycle now i have light brown spotting do i need to go see doctor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: Brown spotting is old blood that is probably a remnant of your recent period and will go away in a few days on its own. On-the-other-hand, If it is persistent, you should see your doc. Best wishes!
