A member asked:

Its been a week since i last had sex and my discharge is reddish brown. first time seeing my discharge like that. is that normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: This could be normal or could be a sign of infection. If you have any other symptoms such as itching, burning, pain or bad odor of discharge, then you should see a doctor for a pelvic exam, Also if the discharge persists then you should also get an exam.
