Dear Ma'am,
Thank you for your query regarding brown discharge.
If the brown vaginal discharge within 1 week of the actual menstrual period it is considered Okay as the discharge is actually altered menstrual spotting.
However, if the discharge is one week before menstrual cycle, it is considered as intermenstrual bleed.
You need to visit a Gynaecologist, to have a speculum examination of the lower genital tract in that scenario.
I hope I was able to solve your query.
Regards,
Dr. Aditi Kishore Shinde
