Menstrual Discharge... Any Info Would Be Appreciated! Posted: 09-12-07 20:53pm
My period this month started around the
day it should have, I had a slight brown
discharge, which in the past I've had
before that only lasted a day or two, so I
figured it would go away. It has been over
a week now and I am still having a brown
discharge with very minimal menstrual
bleeding. I don't have stomach pains or
cramping, there is no odor, itching or
burning. Why am I having this kind of
discharge for so long? I'm a lesbian, so I
can rule out pregnancy. I did have
intercourse the day before I noticed the
discharge. (I can also say that my
partners hands were clean!) I have gained
about 10-15 lbs. in the last few months.
Could I possibly have the beginnings of a
yeast infection or is my body just
flushing out old blood? Should I see my GP
or wait it out a few more days to see if
it goes away on its own?

This sounds like it is just an 'off' month
for you. It doesn't sound like anything to
be concerned about. Sometimes our flow is
heavier and sometimes it is lighter.
Please seek help from your doctor if you
are overly concerned - or you keep
bleeding.
A yeast infections doesn't usually effect
the lining of your uterus. It itches like
mad and it smells like you are baking
bread in your undies. There is also a
thick discharge.
