I have a brown vaginal discharge and it is seven days before my period date I do not bleed and only discharge is there what shall I do

Dear Farida,

We understand that experiencing changes in vaginal discharge can be concerning. It is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for personalised advice.

A brown vaginal discharge occurring seven days before your period may have various causes, such as:

1. Old Menstrual Blood: Sometimes, blood from previous periods may take time to exit the body, resulting in brown discharge.
2. Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormones during your menstrual cycle can affect the colour and consistency of vaginal discharge.
3. Infection or Imbalance: Infections or imbalances in the vaginal flora may lead to changes in discharge colour.
4. Implantation Bleeding: If you are sexually active and trying to conceive, brown discharge could be a sign of implantation bleeding.

However, it's essential to consider individual factors. To address your concern:

1. Consult a Healthcare Professional: Schedule an appointment with a gynaecologist or healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate guidance.
2. Provide Detailed Information: During the consultation, share details about your menstrual history, sexual activity, and other relevant information.
3. Observe for Other Symptoms: Note accompanying symptoms, such as itching, pain, or a foul odour, as these may provide additional insights.
4. Avoid Self-Diagnosis: Refrain from self-diagnosis or attempting home remedies without professional advice.

Remember, only a healthcare professional can provide a proper diagnosis based on a comprehensive assessment. You can utilise our online consultation services for convenient and timely advice.

Take care of your health, and we hope you find the support and guidance you need.
