Hi .. Im having this really bad discharge.. Its sort of brown and really smelly .. Ive had white discharge before .. but never had brown discharge.. I just finished my period ( which was almost 2 weeks late) .. and lasted til 7th day ..but on the 9th day, I had like 2 small blood spots. When i was having the period.. my pads always smelly and even after period when i continued wearing panty-liners.. its still smelly ..

The month before, everything was okay .. Til before this period, which I had sex with 3 different guys. The other one Ive been seeing for awhile. The other two ive never had sex with them before. Do u think im infected with STD? or issit possible somehow that im pregnant ? coz the period itself was kinda weird. Thanx ... X

Do you use condoms when you have sex for std and pregnancy prevention or any other contraceptives for preventing pregnancy?

Considering you had your period, which was 7 days long, I don’t think you are pregnant but it is possible that you have an infection, not necessarily an STD.

The only way to know for sure and see your gynecologist and have tested for infections and std’s. This could be your normal discharge that may also smell funny. Brown discharge usually indicates blood and if this happens after or before period, it should be ok because it may indicate the beginning of your period or an old blood but if you experience bloody discharge in between periods, then you should have it checked.
You could have bacterial vaginosis that occurs when there is an excessive growth of normal bacteria that live in the vagina. This condition is common and can be easily treated but if it is not treated it may increase the risk of pre cancerous changes occurring in the neck of the womb or cervix.

I heard that Chlamydia also may cause bloody discharge. Chlamydia is an STD but it is also easily treated and there are complications if not treated.
Strange discharge may occur when you are douching or washing excessively with harsh soaps.
