brown discharge

[bagpussmice]

my period finished 10 days ago, the actual bleeding lasted about 3 days which is normal for me, but since then I have had a continuous brownish discharge, like the tail end of the period, but it doesn't normally go on for more than a day or so...
anyone know what this is? should I be worried or go to the doctor? I have no other symptoms....

Would suggest you visit the GP and get this checked out medically.

I've got the same thing, although disgustingly enough it's got a horrible smell and is very runny - does anyone have any idea what this could be?

an infection ! any vaginal discharge that has a bad smell is a sign of infection..

and blood , old or new from the vagina..when you are not having a period , needs checking out ...usually a simple explanation..but get to the docs!

can I ask - is there any chnace a tampon could be up there? I read on website that can happen - sorry for nature of this- but I've had sex and am worried there's a tampon really far inside me< could this happen?

erm... if you have recently had a period, then yes!!! a doctor would be able to extract it....have a bit of a rummage and see if you can feel anything...might be easier to lie down with your bum on a couple of pillows so you can reach further !

if is is in there you should be able to feel it as it can't get past the cervix !!

if you have had sex..it is likely that your DH might have bumped into it !

pass the sickbag-it was a tampon!
