A member asked:

I am 46 yrs old and have been off my period for a week now but having brown discharge?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Brown Discharge: this is old blood being expelled from your uterus. As long as it is not foul smelling, you are not having pain or a fever it is not worrisome. If these are occurring see your OB or FP
