A member asked:

Dark brown discharge for 5 days after my menstration, is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It can be: If the Progesterone hormone is a little low then it's common for women to spot before or after a period. If it happens occasionally then it's unlikely to be something serious. If it occurs every cycle - get it checked out. Possible causes include fibroid or polyp or infection or needing hormones to regulate.
