A member asked:
Just had period little over a week ago. now i'm having dark red/brown bleeding, not a lot. haven't had sex since before period & no birth control.why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Old menstrual blood: mixed with vaginal and cervical mucous can cause this brownish discharge. I suggest monitoring your cycles and if this continues, see you GYN for a pelvic exam and culture of the discharge.
