"   Question I came off the Pill four months ago and was warned it may take a while for my periods to return to normal.  Since then I have been experiencing a brown discharge that lasts for the three weeks between my periods.  Is this an after-effect of the Pill or should I go and see my doctor?   Answer It could be an after-effect. What brown is, is old blood \u2013 if there is a very small amount of bleeding it takes a while to get to the outside and in the process the air turns it from red to brown.  So, what is happening is that you have a small amount of bleeding going on.  That can either be because your natural hormones haven&amp;#039;t re-established themselves properly \u2013 or something local is bleeding \u2013 a polyp or an erosion of the cervix, or something.  As this has been going on for four months now I&amp;#039;d exclude the local possibilities with an examination \u2013 most of these things are very easily treated.  If the examination shows no problem then you should find that over the next couple of months everything settles down.
