I am a little concerned as to why for the last year, exactly one week after my period I get a brownish discharge? If I have intercourse the span of the spotting is shortened. Kinda as if it cleans up inside. Should I be concerned? Years ago my OB/GYN addressed this by putting me on birth control. After I stopped taking them it cam right back. I am 46 and really don't want to take birth control pills. what do you suggest?
