What is the reason for brown discharge?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Vaginal discharge?: That is likely blood mixed in with your vaginal secretions. Brown is often older blood. However if you develop discharge that has an odor, causes redness, swelling, itching or pain - please get medically evaluated.
