A member asked:

It's been 8 weeks since i gave birth and i still have brown discharge - what's going on?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Discharge: Vaginal discharge following delivery is a normal thing. Some patients may spot for a week but can last upto 90 days after delivery even though the color of the discharge will transit gradually from red to clear. As long as you are doing well, there is nothing to worry about.
