Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Perhaps: If you have pain and or a fever and or foul discharge, it could be an infection and you will need to see your obstetrician. If not, no worries. It is not unusual to get discharges of various colors after delivery, such as red, brown, greenish, yellow or purple.

Dr Hodge and another doctor agreed
