Brown discharge is usually not a cause for concern and the brown vaginal discharge is just old blood.

The only time the brown discharge would be a cause for concern is if you're not trying to get pregnant or a period is not due to occur soon after the brown discharge happens.

If the brown discharge happens and you're not expecting a period or not trying to get pregnant then something else could be going on because that's not normal and you should see your doctor as you could have an infection.

If you're trying to get pregnant then brown discharge is one of the signs of pregnancy and is caused by implantation bleeding meaning the fertilized egg burrowed into the uterus lining.
