A member asked:

What could cause brown vaginal discharge, one week before period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anovulation: Yu've experienced a missed cycle. These are most commonly due to anovulation. This occurs when the ovary fails to release an egg. This alters hormonal levels which disrupts the cycle.
