sorry about this question[ yuk]

[dontwanabeknown]

i wear panty liners, and have noticed they go very dark brown, so i thought it was them, but now my nickers are doing the same.
there is no smell, to embaresed to tell gp.

sorry about this question i know its yuk but a little worried.
is this normal?

[dontwanabeknown]

i know its a awful question, but does this happen to anybody else?

[Lonelymum]

Right, I will tackle this if no-one else will!

Do you mean your discharge goes brown? How much do you have? Is it every day or only some days?

[NomDePlume]

I generally get a similar mark the day before my period starts but that's it really.

If you are getting it daily for a week or more then I'd go and get checked out by the GP, it could be a sign of infection.

yes i thinks its dischage, its only a bit each pad but its everyday, its being doing it a while now, all my pants are ruined with it.
washing all the time as its not very nice

Is the discharge brown when it comes out? I find that yellow discharge can go brown by the end of the day. I sometimes get odd discharge but only for a day or so. I have been to the GP and had tests but nothing was ever found. If you are getting it frequently, I think you should brace yourself and go to the doctor. You have to think of the worst thing it could be and then you will be inspired to go and get it sorted out because no embarrassment is worse than seriously damaging your health.

I really wouldn't be embarrassed about seeing your gp because honestly, they really don't care about that.
You should definitly see your gp. Too many problems become worse because peopl are afraid to see a doctor about them. Contact the practice nurse and she what she says, I guess she'll put you onto the GP but she will reassure you.
