Uterus cleaning: OliviaC ~ the "cleaning" occurs during your period which varies from from 5 - 10 days Irregular spotting post period does not mean your uterus is "dirty". It just means the endometrium is taking a bit longer to shed. If worried, please see your OB GYN to be reassured, but what you have described is not abnormal. thanks

Infection? STD?: If at the end of an otherwise normal period, see what happens the next few days. But if you're between normal menstrual cycles or otherwise uncertain, see a doctor. Abnormal vaginal discharge always should be professionally evaluated, and colored or bloody discharge suggests infection, such as an STD and if sexually active you should be tested for gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomonas, etc. Good luck!
