How Can dark Brown Vaginal Discharge Be Treated?

Hi, I seem to be having a dark brown discharge. It started yesterday she I went to the toilet to urinate I wiped and noticed dark brown on the paper so I placed a pad in my knickers thinking it was the start of my period but woke up today to find the pad still clean. I put a fresh pad on and went about things like normal everytime I urinate I get dark brown colour on my toilet paper when I wipe and a very small amount of dark brown colour on my pad over the course of the day. Any ideas what this could be?

Hi, I think it can be due to some vaginal infection. Get yourself examined by a gynecologist. Also if you are sexually active, do a urine pregnancy test at home to rule out pregnancy. Sometimes, it can be due to implantation bleeding. If infection is there, you may need some antibiotics.
