brownish discharge

I don't take any pills for birth control. I am having a problem about my menstrual cycle. I had my mens last month for 5 days but it was just like spotting cause it was not that heavy, sometimes it was black, red or dark brown.. and that was for five days. After 2-3 weeks maybe, I had  intercourse and after 2 days, I had this bad odor yellowish discharge and maybe 2 days again, I had this brownish light spot. Is this a problem? Please help me 'cause I don't have any to talk to with this kind of problem.

You said you thought the spotting was just your period? If you think you're pregnant then take a test and see what it says. But that doesn't stop the fact that it sounds like you have a bacterial infection and need to have it treated asap.

The brown/black discharge can be caused by a bacterial infection, yes. It can also cause yellow or green discharge that has a an odour. You need to stop questioning 'what if' etc and just see a doctor and have it treated. Trust me when I say the longer you leave it, the worse it will get adn harder it will be to treat. Get an appointment ASAP because you need antibiotics.

what I havent treated it? What would be the possibilities? I am really afraid.. But this would be the period already right? The Dark Brown, Black that I dispense? Is it because of the bacteria that's why it is happening? I already have this twice in just one month.

The spotting could be your period, but the yellow discharge with an odour that you described is not - that sounds like a bacterial infection. You need to see a doctor and have it treated. The spotting may or not may not disappear - depends on whether it's caused by the infection or your period.

I think this spotting is my menstruation.. But it was not like this.. From the day it started, it continued already.. This happened to me like for the first week of March that I had a little light mensturation.. Do you think it was just an irregularity of my menstruation or really an bacterial infection..

Spotting can occur in pregnancy but it can occur with other things too - like a bacterial infection. It doesn't matter how old you are, when you start having periods the bacterial infections can happen. It's just part of being a women.

No, it doesn't mean you're pregnant! But you need to see your doc ASAP - leaving bacterial infections untreated just makes them worse and a lot harder to treat and go away.

Sounds like you have a bacterial infection. (bacterial vaginosis) It can cause the discharge, irregularities to your period and the odour to discharge that you describe. It's easily solved by taking antibiotics so go see your doctor and they'll sort that out for you.
