A member asked:
I'm 4 days in my period (dry period) and when i wiped today there was a light brown discharge. have been on the pill for almost a year. is it normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not unusual: It could just be dried old blood and should clear in the next day or so. However if it persists or if there is a bad odor or abdominal pain you should see your GYN. Good luck!
