Brown discharge is usually old blood. It is best to have your doctor check you out because women are so prone to vaginal infections. If it is an infection there are antibiotics your doctor can give you to clear it up.

Exercise, good diet and lots of water help with these problems. Your discharge should be odor-free on a normal basis, but during a period this can happen and also some spices and foods (example: asparagus) or taking Vitamin B can change the odor of your discharge.

Brown discharge is normal towards the end of your period, it is just the remaining blood leaving your body and mixing with discharge, as it takes time to leave your body it will become brown.

A bad odour is a concern as it may be a sign of a vaginal infection such as Bacterial Vaginosis - an infection where 'bad' bacteria take over within the vagina. You are at slightly higher risk of vaginal infections during menstruation as your vaginal pH is less acidic so more favourable to 'bad' bacteria, if you use tampons the risk is higher as they give bacteria the perfect place to multiply and prevent vaginal cleaning. If the odour continues see your doctor for tests and treatment.

What is brown stuff on your underwear after a week of being off period?

Its probably not from your period, its just probably poop stains. You probably don't wipe yourself good. :) I got it too. If it smells like nothing, then its dried blood before you get your real period. If it smells of poop, then it is poop!


What is pasty white sweet smelling vaginal discharge caused from?

probably a yeast infection. regular discharge should not have much of an odor. I don't believe it leads to the belief of a yeast infection. I think it is common and i have it often but i am a health young woman. ------------------------------ I agree. I don't think its a yeast infection. I get it every month after my period ends. Its smells sweet too and then changes, but I think it discharges as white and stringy and only becomes pasty after its been on my underwear. Tmi, sorry but yeah.

Do you get brown dischage before your period comes?

Brown discharge is a sign that you have your period. Some people may also call it "black" or "deep burgundy." The reason why it's so dark is because it's old blood that your body is getting rid of during menstruation, so it's very common and almost everyone gets it. It will also become this color when your menstruation cycle ends as well.

Is the brown stuff on your underwear your period?

The brown stuff may be your period. Brown or pink discharge is commonly refered to as 'spotting' it is when small amounts of blood mix with your normal vaginal discharge - spotting is often a result of hormonal changes in your body so it may occur as your body is getting ready to start menstruating over the next few months. Spotting can also be the start of your period; your period is when uterus lining sheds, it doesn't all come out in one go so it starts off very light like this and usually ends as spotting like this too. The only way to tell if this is your period or not is to see whether it continues over the next 3-7 days - if it is your period it is likely to get at least a little heavier, if not change from brown discharge to full bleeding. Either way if this is the first time you're seeing something like this let your mom or guardian know that it may be your first period. When you experience spotting like this it's a good idea to put on a liner or a pad, you can also use menstrual cups or softcups, but do not ever use tampons with spotting as there's not enough blood to use tampons safely. Also change your underwear, before putting into the laundry rinse out with cold water and also if stained soak in water with hydrogen peroxide in - your mom or guardian can help you with this.


Every month when you start your menstrual cycle It starts with rusty or brown discharge or blood and it ends the same way why?
