What Causes Unusual Brown Vaginal Discharge?
Hello, I ve been having brown discharge starting 10 days before my period projected start date, and it is still continuing 6 days until my projected start date. But now it is starting to look more bloody like my actual period. Could this be from all the stress I ve been having lately?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The brown discharge is old vaginal blood.
Stress can affect the period, either physical stress/illness or emotional stress.
It can cause a change in the cycle in terms of intensity of the bleeding and also the frequency of the cycle.
I hope this helps
