Why Am I Experiencing Dark Brown Discharge With A Slight Odor Between Periods ?
I have very irregular periods, like one every two or three months, which is normal for me. But in the last sixth months or so I ve been experiencing dark brown discharge with a slight odor between periods that has lasted anywhere from one to two weeks. I m not sexually active, not on any birth control , and not pregnant. Is this something that I should be concerned about?
