A member asked:

Hi, i am 40 yrs old, had a hysterectomy in 2008. i am having dark brown discharge with slight odor.

2 possibilities: There are two possibilities, both of which will require a GYN MD exam. The first is old blood emanating from the vaginal cuff or vagina itself. The second, a vaginal bacterial infection. See your GYN MD soon for evaluation and possible treatment.
