When have you been getting this discharge, and for how long? Does it only happen around your menstrual period, or is it happening at other times as well?

Last week you also posted about similar discharge, so clearly this is not just about the last few hours?

So, you have been having brown discharge for a week or more?

If so, and you're not just past your period, I'd suggest it's time to check in with a healthcare provider to be sure you don't have a vaginal infection on imbalance in need of treatment.

We can''t answer this kind of question: only someone who can examine you and your discharges in person can.

Sure thing. Do you know where to go to get this kind of healthcare? If not, we're happy to help you find it.

I understand that. But again, we can't give you information about what's going on with something like this. You need to be examined by someone in person for that.
