I see a lot of questions on this subject, and If it is all right with the supervisors/moderators, perhaps it can be 'sticky' on this board to help others?


Brownish colored discharge and/or Periods.


Brown colored period usually means nothing more than just what it is; brown colored period. Sometimes color can change from beginning to end (or during) period depending on your own flow. Much of the time the 'brown' color will come at the beginning or end of your cycle while the color may be darker and/or brighter during. Usually these colorings are absolutely normal and not a cause for concern.



Different Types of Discharge

White: Thick, white discharge is common at the beginning and end of your cycle. Normal white discharge is not accompanied by itching. If itching is present, thick white discharge can indicate a yeast infection.

Clear and stretchy: This is "fertile" mucous and means you are ovulating.

Clear and watery: This occurs at different times of your cycle and can be particularly heavy after exercising.

Yellow or Green: May indicate an infection, especially if thick or clumpy like cottage cheese or has a foul odor.

Brown: May happen right after periods, and is just "cleaning out" your vagina. Old blood looks brown.

Spotting Blood/Brown Discharge: This may occur when you are ovulating/mid-cycle. Sometimes early in pregnancy you may have spotting or a brownish discharge at the time your period would normally come. If you have spotting at the time of your normal period rather than your usual amount of flow, and you have had sex without using birth control, you should check a pregnancy test.




The things to be worried about include if the discharge has a yellow or green color, is clumpy like cottage cheese, or has a bad odor.




I hope this helps some of the worried ladies out there experiancing this.
