A member asked:

I have a weird brown light blood discharge a week before my period? what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Spotting: A brownish discharge that occurs before each period can represent several things. Most commonly would be Progesterone deficiency, especially later in your reproductive years, or a problem in the uterus or cervix, such as a polyp.
