A member asked:

I just recently got off my period and tonight i started to finger myself and noticed a brown liquid coming from my vagina . it sorta has a smell .

Old blood: This material is most likely a mixture of old blood and mucus. Since you just finished your period, I would give this another day or so to clear and just practice normal female hygiene and not consult your physician or gynecologist unless discharge persists..
