YOUR BOD | PERIODS, PERIOD | Q&A

Brown discharge. Period prob?

 
I’ve had my period for three years, but this week was different. At the end of my period, I started getting brownish discharge on and off. What’s going on?

           

Hey girlie, that brownish discharge could be a couple of different things, none of which you should worry about. What could be happening is that your body is getting rid of old endometrial tissues, which line the uterus, to make room for newer tissues. This cleaning process is perfectly normal and makes sure that your uterus is ready for future periods.  Another possible reason for the brownish discharge is just old blood that’s ready to come out. Just because it’s changed from a red to brownish color doesn’t mean you should be scared.

 

Brownish discharge is quite common, but if it starts to have a strong odor, you should go see your doctor to make sure everything’s OK.  Use your instincts, and if you think something’s up, go get it checked out. Remember-it’s better safe than sorry.

MOD MOD MOD!
I have had my period for a about a year, and it's been completely regular. I really wanna try tampons, but I don't know how to tell my mom(She has never tried a tampon so she doesn't really even think about them as an option)I've always told her pretty much everything about this type of stuff I just don't know how to talk to her about this. How do I tell her?
Thanks xoxoxo


 


Hey chica! I'd be honest and let your mom know that you want to try them. Give her your reasons and ask if you can pick up a box the time you're shopping. She should understand. And if she doesn't, then you can always borrow one from the school nurse, or a friend, to try!

MOD MOD MOD, ..[question #1 omitted]..
Plus One Of My Close Friends is Datin My Bf Brothers. And Last Night she Told Me.. Her and Jay Had Sex ( Jays is my bfs Brother) I was shocked So When I told My Bf He Thinks It's not true. I would Ask Jay but She Told me Not To Tell him I know. so I REALLYYYY Need Help Here.!!!!!!
Thanks Mod. <3

 

Hey girlie,

Read this article for info about the hymen, which is the technical term for the slang word you used in your first question! And I don't think this is something you should confirm with Jay - it's their business and she trusted you enough to confide in you, so you shouldn't go around discussing it. If you want more info, ask her about it. Sex in a sensitive thing to discuss so understand that she might be tight-lipped about a lot of the details, but try not to doubt her or judge her. Be there to support her and listen if she needs it!

I know this is going to sound really weird and probably stupid, but i've been have issuses with my period and i want to do something about it, but i'm afraid to go to the gynecologist. what do i do?




Well, sweetie, I can't tell you what to do without knowing much about your problem.  It sounds like something to check out with a doctor.  Or if that worries you, sit down with your mom and tell her what's going on.  I'm sure she can help!

Hey. Well im 13 and i've never had a period before but i do have strong discharge. Its kinda yellowish and it smells fishy. I think there's something wrong but i can't just go to my mom and be like, "hey theres an issue!" We aren't close and I'd be WAY too embarrassed to try and tell her. What should I do?




I think your mom would be the best person to tell. It may be awkward but it will bring you two closer I bet. Also you can tell your doctor about it and I'm sure theyll be able to help. xoxo kerra

MOD MOD MOD ! i Just got my period and the bad thing is i was at camp! Frown when i started it got really heavy and i would never stop bleeding , i started on Tuesday then it ended on Saturday, Is 5 days normal or should i be getting it for 7 days? and my second question is i hate using pads cause they make me feel icky and yucky even when i change them i just dont like the feeling so i wanna wear tampons but i dont know how to put one on and im scared to get toxic shock thing?? So what do i do?

 

Hey girl,

Toxic Shock Syndrome is super rare and is really only connected to old "big" tampons - just make sure you change your tampons regularly, use the most appropriate size for your flow, and don't leave them in for longer than 8 hours. As for putting one in, try reading our tips here: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2009/06/23/007-Period-Advice.aspx

 

And yes, don't worry - anywhere from 3-8 days for a period is totally normal Smile
