What Causes Brown Vaginal Discharge?
I have a vaginal discharge that is brown/yellow in color. Sometimes very heavy so that I need to wear a pad. I have gone to my doctor twice and he said there is nothing wrong, but this is not normal for me. I am worried that I have some kind of an infection.

Hi,
Yellow-brown vaginal discharge is not normal unless you are on long-acting contraceptive.
It does indicate some inflammation/infection in the genital area.
A detailed gynaecological checkup with deep vaginal swab test would help in knowing the pathology followed by specific management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
