Having Dark Sort Of Discharge From Vagina, Already Had Period, Light Flow, Nauseous. Normal?

I ve been drinking a lot of fruit and vegetable smoothies, which I know is a method of detoxifying your body, but I wasn t drinking enough water. And started feeling very nauseous and sick. I started drinking more water and it helped me pass the toxins and I feel better, though I m having a dark sort of discharge from my vagina. I already had my period earlier this month and this doesn t seem like a period, the flow is very light and the discharge is very dark. I m wondering if this is normal, if it s just my body cleaning itself out or what. Got any advice or ideas that could help me? Please and thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
You didn't mention when exactly you completed your periods.
After completion of periods, for few days spotting can be seen in some women.
As that will be collected blood usually, that will come in darker color.
Sometimes hormonal imbalance can lead to intermenstrual spotting, post ovulatory spotting etc.
Usually this spotting will subside soon and may not recur in next cycles.
If the spotting continues or increases or recurs better to consult gynecologist once and get examined.
If she recommends, go for ultrasound, hormonal profile and thyroid profile etc.
By examination and investigations the possible cause for your problem can be identified and treated.
