Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Brown vaginal discharge is suggestive of either infection or hormonal imbalance.
So better to consult gynecologist and get done clinical examination of vagina, hormone levels and microscopic examination of discharge.
You may need hormone pills to regulate hormones. If infection is there then you will need antibiotic suppositories.
Better to avoid next depo shot until this discharge resolve.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
