Raise your hand if you’ve ever noticed brown discharge before or after your period and been like, “Hold on, I did not sign up for this.”
, you’ve probably gotten the message time and time again that periods=blood=redness galore. What’s the deal with that brown discharge, then? We spoke with experts to find out.
As for that brown discharge? “Brown discharge before a period is usually just due to a little bit of bleeding,” Christine Greves, M.D., a board-certified ob/gyn at the Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies, tells SELF. If you shed a bit of your uterine lining early and your period isn’t flowing heavily yet, it can take more time for the blood to work its way down to your vaginal opening, giving it more time to mix with oxygen,, M.D.
It’s the same deal when you get brown discharge after your period, Dr. Greves says: Some leftover dribbles of blood may be taking their sweet time leaving your vagina, oxidizing and combining with your discharge on the way.
