Question
I have had brown discharge which you say is old blood which you usually get at the end of your period. Well i got this at the beginning and end of period. What does this mean?
Answer
It might be that your body "cleanses" itself of the old blood before and after, but if you are sexually active, it might not hurt to see your doctor and make sure it is not a sexually transmitted infection.
