What Could Be The Reason For Having A Brown Mucus Discharge?

I had my period on the 5th- 8th of this month. This is 2 days shorter then normal. On the 18th I started having a brown, mucus discharge but just enough to show when I wipe. Today is the 21st and it s going away but still there and still brown. What could this be?

Hello,

Don't worry, brown discharge could be due to mild genital infection. Just drink plenty of water. If you skip the cycle the coming month, please get a pregnancy test done.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
