lucyhor25 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Im 25 and have always had normal regular periods, I got a smear test and a full check up 2 and a half years ago, the smear was fine, i had an infection BV which I got treated for, my problem now is that this month and last month about 5 days after my period stopped I have light brown spotting lasting a day or two its very very light but as i have never got it before im worried that something huge might be wrong, does anyone else get this? do i need to get checked up again?

kluv224 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Yeah it's called disharge usually lasts 1-2 days after your period. Completely normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Asti_ Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Brown discharge is usually nothing more than old blood. Its very common to see a little after your period, its just residual blood that was left. I would be highly concerned if it was fresh, bright red colored blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almond Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Depending on your recent sexual history in the past 3 months (or the recent sexual history of your partner), and your use of condoms, you may or may not have acquired a sexually transmitted infection. If you think you may have been placed at risk, I would consider getting tested for just to be safe. Go see a doctor. Chlamydia or Gonorrhea, for example, can present this way early on... you see often malodorous (or not) brown/red/pus a few days after periods. Go get a pap test... they should test for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea infections as standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSoxFan84 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 You should go for a pap every single year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
