BROWN DISCHARGE AFTER PERIOD ENDS
I KNOW THAT HAVING BROWN DISCHARGE AFTER MY PERIOD IS NORMAL BUTS ITS ALSO ANNOYING. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OF HOW TO GET RID OF THE DISCHARGE THAT WOULD NOT BE THREATENING TO MY REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM? SUGGESTIONS OF HOME REMEDIES WELCOME..THANKS!
I have had brown discharge many times at the end or beginning of my period. I don't think it's anything anyone should worry about, unless there are other symptoms. Last month I noticed a horrible smell when I was taking my tampons out. I was in denial, hoping that it was just sweat and blood creating the smell. A few days later when my period was over I was still noticing the smell, along with a brown and yellow discharge that did not look normal. I made an appointment to figure out what was going on. I can't remember exactly when but a day or so later when I went to the bathroom a tampon came out. I was horrified and embarrassed that something like that could happen to me. I must have been inserting my tampons up too far or something because I never felt it or saw the string. The doctors office told me I didn't have to come in if I didn't have any symptoms after it was removed. I didn't have any problems for about 2 weeks then it started to burn a little when I went to the bathroom. So, I went to the doctor and discovered that I had a UTI. I'm currently on amoxicillin. I did end up going back to the doctor because my tampons were uncomfortable to wear (now I'm finishing my period) and I have been having headaches and constipation. My doctor told me the headaches were from stress. She checked to see if I still had an infection and also did a pelvic exam. She said I was fine. I guess I'm just not so sure about that. This period has been weird, as well. It usually lasts close to a full week but I stopped bleeding in about 3 or 4 days then a day or so later I was having brown discharge, like old blood. The only weird thing is that the discharge smells weird but not completely horrible, like before. I guess I'm at a loss so I decided to make an appointment with a new doctor on Friday. Maybe they can figure out if the antibiotic worked and why I have headaches and constipation. I just can't believe that it's all from stress but it is stressful to deal with all of this for sure.
i had brown discharge 10days after my period for almost 6-7days. it is very little. but till now i didn't get my periods.I didn't know what could be the reason so, can anyone suggest me something regarding this? i'm so tensed.

seriously i am so glad i found this website, because i didnt know what to do. i live in a really messed up community where going to the gynecologist at a young age (and i'm 18), means you're either pregnant or your going there because you want to get sewed, and im kind of stuck with the medical advice. so i finished my period precisely one week ago. i've been getting the brown discharge for 7 days now. this is the first time i've had it. i dont know who to turn to for an advice but can someone please tell me when and how it stops? thank you upfront.
I am 49 and just started having these symptoms, my thoughts exactly that it might be a sign of menopause, but the more I read I am just thinking this is normal in a sense. I was just pregnant in Dec. 2010 but lost the child in early Feb. 2011. My body was not able to clear the miscarriage entirely from my uterus. I had to have a DNC which I did mid Feb. This brownish discharge started one day after I thought I was done with my period and so far has lasted 3 days. I too had to start wearing panty liners, and the smell is not pleasant and itchy. I am not on the pill and haven't been for 3 years, so the pill is not the issue. I believe my uterine lining is not shedding the right way, hence why I had to have a DNC. I will try the RePhresh which is also from the same makers of Replens, which my Dr. subscribed to me in the past due to (lack of) vaginal lubrication. I see they also have a line of Probiotics, but I take that daily so that is not the issue either. Hope this helps everyone! I know it has made me stressed thinking about it, and I too know I don't have an infection. Been married and both of us have been faithful for the past 3 yrs.
