How long does a period lasts..
Im 17..n I hav dark Red bleeding till about 5th day of my period but on 6th day i hav brown discharge... The discharge lasts for abt 3-5 days.. . Its smelly also.. Im not sexually active n Im having this crap since my first period.. The basic problem is I dont know when my period or that brown discharge will stop n so sometimes it leaks down my underwear.. Such a shame... Plz help me out... Should I visit I Doc.. what should I do.. Help help.. thx
The fact that it's brown means that the blood is a little older, meaning that your period is about to end (because the blood flow is milder so the blood stays inside of your body longer). This is nothing to worry about and it's very common (a lot of my friends have it too and so do I - I'm 17 too) but to prevent leaking I would wear pads until the bleeding has fully stopped. It depends for everyone how long their periods last and its always hard to know when it stops, so wearing pads until you're sure that it has ended is probably the only way. Good luck! Xx
