Hello Liiboo and thanks for posting,
The cervix can bleed a little just after a smear is taken and old blood can look brownish so this could explain your discharge, but to be on the safe side do run it past your practice nurse and get their input. They will have seen your cervix when they took the smear so can say if everything looked healthy - I assume there is a reason for you not having had a period for a year, if not, this is something you can talk over with them too.
All the best,
Julia
