Light Pink Discharge After Period: Causes & When to Worry


Question
Hi there I am 22 and have no children and my last period started on July 9th and ended July 12th which is normal for me.
For the past 3 days now I have been having a light pink or very brown discharge every time I go to the bathroom but after that I will have clear discharge again. This is very out of the norm for me and I am a little concerned because this has not happened after my period has stopped before. Could this just be left from my period or is this something else?  

Answer
Spotting around mid cycle (cycle day #11-15) can be merely due to the beginning of ouvlation. It is usually short in duration and is insignificant.  If you notice it every months, you should bring it to the attention of your gynecologist. Otherwise it does not cause any problems.
