Question : i had a flu/cold about 2 weeks ago and began having discharge, some brown and some red. What could this be? I still have a cough but all other flu symptoms gone... i am worried. I took a pregnancy test but im thinking maybe it is too early i havent missed my period should be getting it this week.

Brief Answer:
It could be due to start of periods

Detailed Answer:
Hello

The brownish discharge could be due to start of periods. When blood has some block in its flow or it just stays inside for extra time, then it tends to become brown. Some exercise could help in easier flow of blood.
