A member asked:

Is normal brown menstration normal ta first day and its my first tym to have brown discharge on the first day of menstration???

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Menstrual bleeding: It is very normal to have brown discharge in the first and last days of menses. The brown discharge is simply a sign of old blood that has not appeared immediately with bleeding. This is often seen at the beginning and end of menstrual bleeding when the period is light.
