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.

btw i some times like have my period but then next month i dont get it what up with that!!!! please help




Hey babes,

It's not bad! The brown is blood, but it's just a different level of flow (it's lighter and it has probably dried a bit - I know, totally gross). Usually my period starts off brown, then gets red, then goes back to brown again before it goes away. It's like discharge combined with a period...and it's completely normal!! And remember that periods are almost always irregular when we first get them. Even after a year or two, they can be kinda unpredictable! Just hang in there and stay prepared with a pad in your bag when you think you're due for it Smile

this happens to me sometimes... i got my period for the first time in july 2010, it was pretty normal until this past july. i had my period for about a week in july 2011, which is normally how long mine is. then, two weeks later, this august i got it again, and now, a week after my period finished, it seems as if its on its way again with some light brown discharge. im so confused, is this normal? or is it just endometrial tissues, mentioned in this article?




Hey sweetie,

Especially when you're young, periods can be pretty irregular. You might have two one month and none the next! While most of the time this is pretty normal, if you're worried, or this continues, see a doctor. They can tell you for sure whether it's something to worry about, or no biggie.

Are tampons flushable? The box says yes but I keep getting mixed answers.




Hey girl, generally not. They should be disposed of with pads in a special trash can.

i have like...a LOT of discharge all the time. I get my period every 20 days or so, but is that normal...? like, it looks normal and evrything, but theres just a lot of discharge...




Hey girl!

I would say it's pretty typical to have a lot of discharge for the first few months that you have your period. But if you've had it for awhile, I'd make an appointment with your doctor to see what's up.
