Question
Am 17 years old and am not a virgin, I am concerned as to why I have brown discharge. For almost two weeks I have been noticing the brown color discharge. I also get serve cramps. I doubt very much it can an STD, because I got a pap smear which came back normal.
Answer
A pap test only checks for cancer - so I suggest you go back to the doctor and discuss being checked for sexually transmitted infections. Please mention the discharge and cramps. Good Luck!
