I am a 15 year old girl who just got her first period a month ago. Up until then I had experienced white discharge for about 2-3 years. After I got my first period, I had brown discharge which worried me but I didn't think too much of it. It may seem awkward but I will admit that I masturbate, and every time I finish, a weird brown slimy goo comes out. Up until now this has never happened. However ever since my period, it always happens and I am concerned for my health. If you know anything please let me know. Thank you.

I have irregular periods, and I am experiencing brown discharge. Days after my period it's thick and gross but then it's light. Is this normal?! I am NOT sexually active or on birth control pills.

Also wanted to add that the discharge started ONLY when I had sex, and then it happened again while running on the treadmill.  It was super strange-- dark brown, tons of it, and water, too.  In case someone wants to try and figure out if they have the same issue.

Just adding to the stories of women who had the weird brown discharge a few days to a week after ending their period . . . and who turned out to have lost a tampon in there.  I read these, I looked for it, didn't find it, even after squatting, the whole nine yards.  It's been weeks, I am about to get my period again, and while going to the bathroom, it just came out.  I am so disgusted.  I am 41 years old, have had two kids, and have been using tampons since age 12. How the heck did this happen?!!!????  I had a doctor's appointment set up and everything-- I thought I had some weird disease of the cervix.
