A member asked:

Suppose to get period in 4 days have brown discharge what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Early bleeding: Sometimes you get a little light bleeding before your period. If it sits in the vagina for a while it turns brown. This is usually not anything to worry about. If you have pain, odor or pus in the discharge see a doctor right away.
