Hi
May indicate an infection, especially if it is thick or clumpy like cottage cheese or has a foul odor.
Brown- May happen right after periods, and is just cleaning out your vagina. Old blood looks brown.
Spotting Blood/Brown Discharge-This may occur when you are ovulating/mid-cycle.
Thank you Take care.
