What causes brown smelly discharge after periods?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 22-year-old female with a height of 162 cm and weight of 53 kg. I have reddish-brown spotting on my underwear but my periods were completed before a week. I took pain killers to reduce the unbearable pain. What is the reason for my pain?

Answered by Dr. Rajesh Jain

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It occurs due to hormonal disturbance or infection. Do you have a fowl smell during discharge? Follow the below steps;

1. I suggest (consult with a specialist doctor, talk with him or her and take medicines with their consent) one tablet Pause (Tranexamic Acid 500 mg) twice daily for five days.

2. I suggest tablet Revital Woman once daily for three weeks.

Follow up after three days.
