Brownish discharge after period

Hello has anyone experienced painful brownish discharge after periods which run through the whole cycle? I started having this symptoms after my egg collection in November. Eight months on and my gynecologist says it’s the endo. Could it be so?

Hello! I have this all the time! I never have a normal period anymore, only the brown discharge! But carries on for a week or so after it’s finished!

Unfortunately, I haven’t found anything to completely ease it but heat patches and hot water bottles are a life saver! And take the time to lie down etc when you need to! But it’s something to definitely mention when you next see your GP or gynaecologist! As I have read it could be some sort of cysts, but not entirely sure!

Hope you get some answers soon!

Had it for years, never got it checked, which in hindsight was stupid.

Have you had treatment for endo or waiting?
