However, if its a continual thing over a significant period of time and you havent had any irregular periods in the past then it would be worth a visit to your gynaecologist just to make sure everything is alright and working well. It's always better to be safe than sorry.
Usually brown discharge is a result of old blood - which seems especially likely being a little late - and it's just your body cleaning out your vagina, so to speak.
Just keep an eye on it and wear cotton underwear that's not too tight fitting and let's your body breathe as well as using ph balanced sensitive, non perfumed shower gel. You should be okay. [ WingYan's advice column | Ask WingYan A Question ]
