Is Brown Vaginal Discharge Normal While Suffering From Flu Infection?

I was just diagnosed with the flu and my period isn t due for another 2 weeks but I ve been having a lot of really dark brown discharge, no sign of blood in it at all. Is this normal? I m not on any birth control or any medicines besides tamiflu and Motrin.

Hello,

Brown discharge can be related to dehydration due to the viral infection.

It can be normal.

If the discharge continues after the viral infection you should see a gynecologist for further evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
