General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

The brown discharge you are referring may have different causes. One possibility is of being an infection or as a result of hormone deficiency.

A Pap smear should be done. If results come clear then the discharge is a hormone insufficiency. Taking oral contraception pills may help you. Also if you have an infection you should treat it with antibiotics.

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

Take care
