A member asked:

Should i be worried, i started my period friday night but it was brown and it ended last night what does this mean? had sex before but kinda during when my period started

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Having : Having the period look brown or black towards the end is commonly noted by many women, as the blood can get darker towards the end of the cycle. It is not anything to be concerned with unless the patient has other symptoms such as pain, discharge, or fever.
