What Causes Brown Vaginal Spotting After Menstrual Cycle?
Question: very small amount of brownish discharge after wiping, I finished my period just under 2 weeks ago, although I can't be precise. any reason for this?
hi,
some spotting can be normally present.
looks like a bacterial infection. use a betadine(povidone iodine) pessary for insertion in vagina for antiseptic action. if the discharge is more and is foul smelling or fishy in smell, you will have to use appropriate antibiotics for the same.
hope this helps. kindly hit thanks

I'm getting a few light twinges down below aswell is this normal, my period was around the beginning of the month, there is a slight odur to the discharge
Brief Answer:
Could be due to a bacterial infection
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I would need to ask you a couple of things. Firstly, I need to enquire about how regular your periods are and whether you get pain during the periods. The second thing is whether you are on any medication like birth control pills. I will let you know about the possibilities based on your inputs.
Hormonal imbalances could lead to mid cycle discharge. However, if foul smell is associated, there is high likelihood of a bacterial infection being present. In such a case you would possibly need to be treated with antibiotics like doxycycline.
I will await your response.
Regards
