What Causes Light Brown Discharge After The Period?
I ended my period 5 days ago. The day after my period was over I had sex. I know that usually after periods there's a light brown discharge for like 2 days or 1 day even. But it's 5 day later now and I still had it, and a little more than usual. It feels like I'm leaking. The sex was unprotected. Should I be worried. It doesn't smell and my abdominal does not hurt. Should I be concerned?

Hello,
Brown discharge is normal and indicative of old blood. However, if it persists with bad odor, then follow up with your ObGyn to rule out infection.
