A member asked:
I have been taking birth control for a few months now and i make sure i take my pill consistently, why am i having brown blood and cramping ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Old menstrual blood: mixed with cervical and vaginal secretions will cause a brown discharge. The cramping is a hormonal issue and requires a pelvic exam and the use of Advil or Aleve, (naproxen) if you are not allergic to these medicines.
