What the HECK is this DISCHARGE??

Question

So I just ended my 5-day period about 11 days ago. I'm not expecting it again until the 10th or 11th of Aug. So today, I wake up with this brown/red colored discharge. And after I had it, there was no more. There was none on my underwear or anything. There's no more sign of it, but what could it have been?

I've never had sex, so I cannot be pregnant. Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

It sounds like your spotting. Just some sloughing off of tissue, like your period, but much less. This happens to just about everyone at some point or another. Since this is the first time it's happened and you're not in any serious pain, I wouldn't worry about it. If it continues to happen for a few months, gets heavier, or becomes painful you should see an ob/gyn.

Answer 2

It could B 1 blood clot now dislodged, left over from UR last period.
Or a sign that U've Oulated, some women know very well when an egg's released & it changes the nature of UR Womb 2 expect conception so it's nothing but a lil harmless discharge.

But if in the next few days U have a upset belly, cramps & a fever go 2 UR docs it could B the first sign of an infection.
No, U don't have Sex 2 get an infection.
Anything can set an infection off & have no known cause.

Answer 3

I have it too. If it does not appear like cottage cheese and you do not itch down there then it's most of the time no longer a yeast illness. Every ladies has discharge, nonetheless, a few have produce greater than others. Birth manage can expand the quantity of discharge. For relief you would check out dressed in panty liners to hold it off your undies.

Answer 4

A womans body is a mysterious thing! I dont think you would be discharging if you were prgnant. I believe pregnancy haults all discharge of blood until nearing the end of the term. If it was light and no pain or anything I would forget about it and see what happens. I know many girls go on "birth control" because its primary job is to regulate the menstral cycle. That is an option.

Answer 5

Normal vaginal discharge has several purposes: cleaning and moistening the vagina and helping to prevent and fight infections. Although it's normal for the color, texture, and amount of vaginal fluids to vary throughout a girl's menstrual cycle, some changes in discharge may indicate a problem.

If you think you may have a problem, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. First, though, it helps to learn some of the differences between normal and abnormal vaginal discharge. This will help you to recognize changes that may occur.

Normal vaginal fluids can vary somewhat in texture and color. They can be somewhat thin, sticky, and elastic or thick and gooey. Vaginal fluids should be clear, white, or off-white in color.
It's important to keep an eye out for changes in vaginal fluids. The following changes may indicate a problem:

change in odor (especially an unpleasant odor)
change in color or texture (especially greenish, grayish, or anything looking like pus)
vaginal itching, burning, swelling, or redness
change in color that is caused by vaginal bleeding or spotting that is not a menstrual period
Vaginal infections, such as bacterial vaginosis, candidiasis (yeast infection), and trichomoniasis are common causes of abnormal vaginal discharge. Some infections are transmitted by having sex, such as gonorrhea. Other infections can occur with or without having sex, such as bacterial vaginosis or yeast infection.

Although the symptoms of these infections can be very similar, there are some differences to look for:


Yeast infections may cause your discharge to become very white and thick, resembling cottage cheese. A yeast infection usually does not cause a strong odor, but it may cause severe itching and burning.

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) may cause your discharge to be heavier than usual. The fluids may become foamy or frothy and grayish in color. BV often causes vaginal fluids to have an unpleasant, fishy odor.

Trichomoniasis, a common sexually transmitted disease (STD), may cause a musty, stale odor. Discharge may become grayish or yellow-green and may become thicker. Trichomoniasis also often causes vaginal itching and pain during urination.
It's very important to see a doctor or go to a teen clinic if you have any of the symptoms of abnormal vaginal discharge. This is really important for girls who have had sex, especially those who have had sex without using a condom. Many STDs cause changes in vaginal discharge or cause other infections that affect discharge as well.

Answer 6

It sounds like old blood. Sometimes it can kinda get trapped up in there then come out later. It also could have been ovulation discharge. It can sometimes be a slight tan color and look very sticky. I know it sounds gross but I'm just trying to be honest. I tell you us women!!!!

Answer 7

Just some breakthrough bleeding. This is mild microscopic bleeding the occurs in the cervix. It is associated with birth control pills, heavy lifting, straining, and sex. Since you are not sexually active I'm guessing hormonal changes or heavy lifting.

Answer 8

Could have been old blood that just fell. It sounds gross but sometimes your cycle doesnt get rid of all the junk..this was probably left over dried blood from your period that just never fell.

Answer 9

It is old blood from your menstruation, No need to worry about it, I am sure it happens to most woman. Good job on not having sex. I applaud you for that and pray that there are many more like you

Answer 10

The endothelium in your uterus may not have have finished shedding during your menstral cycle. The brownish red discharge was probably just excess endothelium that was not eliminated previously during your cycle.
