A member asked:

Just had my period last wk. had sex on the 3rd day. i have dark brown discharge up until now. what could be the cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Period: It sounds like your period is still coming out. Did you have sex on the 3rd day from when the period started or on the 3rd day after the period stopped? Are your periods regular? It is most likely some blood from the period but if it is still coming out then you should go see a physician.
