You might be surprised to find out that not all period discharge is red. I know—blood is red, right? Usually, yes. But sometimes, you might see brown period blood. There are several reasons for this, and most of them are harmless.
You might not realize it, but some women have some vaginal discharge nearly every day. It’s often clear or white, but other times, you can experience spotting of other colors. For most women, brown discharge is simply a sign of old blood leaving your uterus.
There are many times throughout your cycle that vaginal discharge could be brown.
There are a few reasons that brown discharge is concerning. It does not always constitute a discussion with your doctor, but if you notice some of these symptoms, it may.
1) Brown discharge continues for several weeks, or a period for longer than seven days.
2) It usually happens after sex
3) The discharge is really smelly
4) Pain and a lot of cramping
5) Vaginal itching
While brown discharge can be a cause for concern, for most women, it is normal. Remember to watch for other accompanying symptoms, and then you’ll know if it’s something you should bring up with your doctor. For the most part—you’re just experiencing that normal flow that comes with being a woman.
