A member asked:

Always have brown discharge for days after my period ends. have always had brown discharge after periods,is that normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

YES: The brownish discharge is actually old menstrual blood mixed with vaginal and cervical secretions. Unless you are having severe menstrual bleeding, this is considered normal, but bothersome. A warm water or bicarbonate douch will help.
