What Does Brown Vaginal Discharge Indicate?

I am 60 years old, married, and had my uterus removed over 15 years ago. I recently had a greenish discharge, saw my dr., and with antibiotics it seemed to clear up. Now I am having a brown discharge - no odor and no discomfort. What could be the cause? Should I be alarmed? Thanks.

Hello,

No, I don't think that there is anything to worry about this condition , as it can be due to fungal infection, so I would suggest clotrimazole suppositories for six days , along with a thyroid profile test.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. SUJOY S BHATTACHARJEE
