What is the dark brown unclear discharge?

Patient's question:

Yesterday while changing my underwear, I noticed dark brown discharge on it, but I didn't feel any pain or itching in my lower body, nor did I see any bumps. I would like to ask the experts what this could be. I am eagerly awaiting your response.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! This is a common situation and should be judged based on your menstrual cycle. If it occurs right after your period, it could be old menstrual blood. If it happens in the middle of your cycle, it might be ovulation bleeding. In the later stage of your period, it could be caused by the withdrawal of estrogen and progesterone, leading to a small amount of bleeding. It could also be due to inflammation of the vagina and cervix. You should go to the hospital for a gynecological examination.
