A member asked:

I had a dark brown discharge since yesterday when there is still 4 more days for periods. am 24 years old and we are preparing for a baby.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly normal: I am uncertain if you mean that the spotting occurs before or during your menses. If the brown discharge is occurring during your menses, it may represent old blood. If you have brown discharge 4 days before your menses, a very common cause is bacterial overgrowth, called bacterial vaginosis (BV). Other symptoms of BV are itching, discomfort, and foul odor.
