A member asked:
My vaginal discharge is tinted brown, how long before my period starts? i've heard that it can tint red/ brown before your menstruation.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Various reasons: Vaginal discharge requires an examination to determine the cause and treatment. Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause and often has a vaginal odor. Vaginal itching can be a sign of a yeast infection. Sometimes vaginal discharge can be a sign of a sexual transmitted infection. Brown or red can be old blood. Testing is important to determine the treatment & keep you and your partner safe.
