Hi.

I've gone through your query. I can understand your anxiety.

Spotting or brownish discharge could be a sign of 1.ovulation  2. Implantation or 3. an outcome of your impending periods coming in few days around or other conditions. As you recently had your cycle, it can be of other causes. I advice you to,
- Do USG pelvis to rule out any retained products of pregnancy
-  consult your gynaecologist for further assistance.
-  Diet rich in protein
- Take iron & calcium supplements.

As u complain brownish discharge post-sex,  nothing serious about it. It could be a sign of 1.vigorous sex 2. ovulation 3. an outcome of your impending periods coming in few days around.

Fresh blood is red in color, once they comes in contact with air, they become brown Color, which is absolutely normal.

I advice you to avoid deeper penetration if the same complaint persists.



Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Get well soon.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician
