A member asked:

Before period, i'm seeing brown clumpy discharge. what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe normal: Small amounts of blood can make its way out as a brownish discharge. Mixed with normal discharge from the cervix might appear as you describe. If this is completely abnormal for you, then see your doctor to rule out infection!
