Understanding White & Brown Vaginal Discharge: Causes & What to Watch For


Question
I am 27yrs old, i have 4 children, the date of my last cycle, was march 12th. i went to the bathroom and wiped and there was a thick slimy discharge white and a little brown in color, then i wiped again and more came off. Is this anything to worry about? thanx

Answer
The discharge that was white  and a little brown, cold have been ovulatory bleeding (mittelshmerz) which can occur at the time of ovulation. If your last period started on March 12, you were due to ovulate on March 25. Usually, this dischrge is nothing to worry about. If you are concerned, discuss it with your gynecologist.
