What Causes Brown Vaginal Discharge?

yes, thank you. My mom is in her 80's and she just informed me that for a few months now, she has been experiencing vaginal discharge (brownish..) I realize she needs to be evaluated as she is going to her GYN Friday, but I live out of state, and to ease my mind , is there a possibly it can be something not serious?

Thank you.
