Strange discharge...does it mean anything?

Question

Since my last period which ended about a week ago (and was not unusually heavy or anything) I have had a continuous yellow/brown discharge instead of white...I feel fine though and was wondering if anyone knew if I should be concerned. It isnt red so I dont think its blood but Im really not sure. Also, my period was normal but I had bad cramps which was unusual which may have been a cyst problem. thats my only idea... I have occasional ovarian cyst complications but they havent been like this before. hmm...

Its not normal to have that kind of discharge a week after your period. You may have a infection of some sort. Some women have infections and dont even know it. I would definetly go see your gyno and tell him what your experiencing. Never assume anything when it comes to your body. A doctor is your best way of finding out what is going on. I just recently got over 2 infections that I thought and treated as a yeast infection. After using over the counter meds that didnt help in the least bit, I went to see my dr and told him what I was experiencing. He did a exam on me and told me within 5 minutes that I had 2 diff kinds of infections. He gave me the meds I needed and within one week I was fully healed and feel so much better. Then infections that I had were common and he said I most likely got them from either using a deoderant soap or wearing jeans that were too tight and wouldnt let that area breath.
So please go see you doctor, it may be nothing, but you can never be sure and you can never self diagnose yourself. Hope this helps.

It could just be more shedding of the lining since you said it hasn't been to long since your last period.
I wouldn't be too worried if you said you're feeling well.

Wait and see, if the funny discharge persists then asking your doctor never hurts.
If not, then I'd just wait till your next period comes and see how that goes.

It could be dryed blood.
