I'm 13 && had discharge for almost 2 years. recently it turned to a light brown for about 4 days. now i barely have it. Is it normal to have discharge that long && what does it mean that it was brown for like 4 day?
Vexxia answered Wednesday December 7 2005, 3:00 am: It's dried blood from your uteral lining. Every 28 days women have a menstural cycle. A period is the sluffing of the lining of the uterus. Your body prepares the lining for holding a baby. If you don't become pregnant the lining is expelled from the body. So, as your other answers said, this is the beginning of your period. Your body is beginning to create lining, but it isn't as concentrated because of the amount of hormones being produced in your body. When you are maturing the level of hormones will increase, causing your breasts to grow, public hair to emerge and your lining to thicken. You should have a normal period, lasting about 4-5 days of red blood, in about 2 months. [ Vexxia's advice column | Ask Vexxia A Question ]

Everything is probably fine but if it gets a lot darker and more frequent you should go to a gynecologist or a doctor you're comfortable with and have her check it out.
