Discharge can sometimes have a slightly orange, pink or brown tint if you're near to the beginning or end of your period, or as a small amount of mid-cycle spotting. If it's a one-off or it's rare, and there's nothing else unusual going on, it's no cause for concern.

If you need more information about vaginal discharges and how to assess whether they're healthy or not, check out Honorably Discharged: A Guide to Vaginal Secretions.

Hi there mangoandcreams,

Like Redskies said, if there aren't any other symptoms (like itching, burning, etc.), and it doesn't get worse, there shouldn't be anything to worry about!
