Since the time you got your first period, you’ve probably come to expect a thin, clear or white vaginal discharge (otherwise known as leukorrhea) in your undergarments many days. Although healthy vaginal discharge comes in a variety of colors, changes are usually a sign something totally normal is going on inside. Brown discharge, however, can be concerning if you’re not expecting your period, probably because the color is so close to blood. Fortunately, in the vast majority of cases some brown discharge is nothing to be concerned about.
WHAT BROWN DISCHARGE IS
As you may have guessed, discharge looks brown when it’s discharge tinged with old blood that took longer to come out from your uterus (as blood gets older, it turns brown).
WHAT BROWN DISCHARGE MEANS IF YOU’RE NOT PREGNANT
It’s not uncommon to have some (sometimes intermittent) brown discharge for a few days after menstruation — that’s old blood making its exit. Or you might experience a little brown (or pink) spotting or discharge around ovulation. And sometimes a little brown discharge means you are extra-sensitive and reacting to a vaginal exam, Pap test or sex (especially if it’s vigorous).
Brown (or pink) discharge for a couple of days around the time of your period can also be an early sign of pregnancy — and it’s often one many women don’t notice (or even have). It’s caused by implantation bleeding, which occurs when a fertilized egg attaches itself to the uterine lining (usually five to 10 days after conception). It's hard at this stage to distinguish whether physical symptoms like bloating, breast swelling and acne are caused by pregnancy or premenstrual syndrome. But if you experience brown spotting, recently had unprotected sex and your period is late by more than a few days, it’s a good idea to take a pregnancy test.
If you’re in the right age bracket (that is, usually 45 or older), brown discharge may be a sign of perimenopause, the years before your body begins its transition to menopause. If you’re also experiencing mood swings, hot flashes and insomnia, it could mean menopause is on its way.
COMPLICATIONS
Whether or not you’re pregnant, in rare cases brown discharge can be a sign of a more serious issue — though you’ll almost always notice other symptoms there’s a problem. For instance, if brown discharge is due to a cervical infection like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), you may also experience pain in the abdomen or during sex, fever, an unusual smelling vaginal discharge or burning during urination. Another possibility is an ovarian cyst, a fluid-filled sac that forms on or inside an ovary. It’s benign in the majority of cases; in addition to brown discharge, it may cause abdominal pain or pressure, a dull ache in the lower back and thighs, and pain during sex and your period (though often ovarian cysts don’t cause any symptoms; cysts are usually detected by ultrasound). Brown discharge due to PCOS, a hormonal imbalance, may be accompanied by excessive hair growth, acne and weight gain. The most serious possible reason for brown discharge is cervical cancer, though the National Cancer Institute estimates just 0.7 percent of women will be diagnosed with this condition in their lifetimes. In this very unlikely scenario, the discharge would be accompanied by pain during sex and bleeding afterward, heavier or longer periods and bleeding between periods.
WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT
If you’re not pregnant and you experience brown discharge right before or after your period, around ovulation or occasionally after sex, it’s more than likely totally normal — so take a mental note and use a panty liner until it goes away. But if you notice brown or bloody discharge that lasts more than a couple of weeks or happens frequently after sex, or, if at any time your vaginal area is itchy, your discharge smells funky or is accompanied by cramping, call your doctor, as these could be signs of an infection or more serious condition.

What if your on birth control and the brown stuff is happening every day?
Birth control pills are known as the most popular modern contraception and there are already many well known side effects of the pills (short-term and long-term). Brown vaginal discharge can be one of side effects of birth control pills. Brown discharge caused by birth control is an unpleasant and embarrassing problem that many women deal with monthly. It should be mentioned that brown discharge is not always a sign of infection or any serious diseases – brown discharge could be just a signal of some hormonal changes developed by birth control pills. In most cases brown discharge is usually old blood.
Birth control pills’ users often complain of brown discharge which is considered as one of typical side effects of the birth control pills. Why pills’ users suffer from brown discharge? What are causes for brown discharge during birth control pills? Is brown discharge should be considered as the signal for changing pills? Are missed pills and brown discharge correlated?
Before giving any explanations and advices, it is important to understand how birth control pills are working.
It is well know that birth control pills are preventing pregnancy through few mechanisms including the following:By blocking ovulation (release of an egg from the mature ovarian follicles) by blocking the action of the FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone), thus preventing pregnancy;
By altering mucus in the cervix, which makes it hard for sperm to travel further up to Fallopian tubes;
By changing the endometrium (internal lining of the uterus) so that it cannot support a fertilized egg;
By altering the fallopian tubes (the tubes through which eggs move from the ovaries to the uterus) so that they cannot effectively move eggs toward the uterus.While birth control pills are insuring all above actions, they are changing the normal hormonal balance of the menstrual cycle through decreasing levels of FSH and LH. Low levels of both hormones (FSH and LH) are responsible for decreased concentrations of estrogens and progesterone – both responsible for endometrial normal development. As a result the lining of the uterus is becoming so thin that it sometimes sloughs off a little bit and appearing as unpleasant unexpected brown discharge.
Other reason for brown discharge during birth control pills could be missed pills. Missed pills are disturbing the whole hormonal mechanisms and “upsetting” the endometrium. Taking birth control pills at precisely the same time every day may help during brown discharge.While birth control pills are insuring all above actions, they are changing the normal hormonal balance of the menstrual cycle through decreasing levels of FSH and LH. Low levels of both hormones (FSH and LH) are responsible for decreased concentrations of estrogens and progesterone – both responsible for endometrial normal development. As a result the lining of the uterus is becoming so thin that it sometimes sloughs off a little bit and appearing as unpleasant unexpected brown dischargeMost modern birth control pills contain two components – estrogen (mainly ethinyl estradiol) and a progestin. Different birth control pills have different combinations of both components – usually the concentration of the estrogen component can vary and several different types of progestin hormones could be used in birth control pills. The concentration and the strength of the estrogen, the type of progestin and the doses of hormones all play a role in determining which side effects a particular birth control pill is likely (or unlikely) to cause. This means brown discharge could appear in different women who are more sensitive to specific types of pills.
How to avoid brown discharge while using birth control pills:
Use birth control pills regularly every day at the same time as prescribed. Don’t miss pills and if you missed pills just follow instructions how to cover it up.
Women who failed to take birth control pills as prescribed can change the hormone levels in the body which can provoke brown discharge.
Use only prescribed birth control pills. Birth control dosages are prescribed based on the level of hormones needed to regulate the menstrual cycle of an individual client. Taking birth control pills that have not been prescribed for you could cause poor control of your monthly cycle.
Use enough liquids per day – stay hydrated and cleansed. Drinking at least six, eight-ounce glasses of water each day (along with a glass of cranberry juice at a meal) will help keep your system cleansed and hydrated. Staying completely hydrated and cleansed will often help prevent brown discharge while taking birth control pills.
Select the best birth control pills for your body. Sometimes taking birth control pills that is not strong enough to regulate your periods could cause brown discharge and irregular periods. If taking a stronger dose of your current birth control pill does not prevent brown discharge, discuss switching birth control medication. In many cases changing birth control medication will stop brown discharge from occurring.

I'm sorry to ask but I have been having my period for a year and I have the brown stuff doesn't that mean I will never have a period again until later on in life???
Help! Yesterday I found this REALLY dark red fluid in my panties, I thought it was discharge, and it was nothing to worry about. And today same thing, dark red, almost brown fluid was in my panties when I woke up, it's probably nothing to worry about. I just want to make sure that I am NOT getting my period any time soon, although my doctor said that I should get my period early this year , and that's a whole year ago, so I am getting kinda worried.
Yes it is just discharge
Ok, thank you so much.
