Welcome to EmpowHER. Brown vaginal discharge is most often associated with old endometrial tissues. Once you start puberty a white and/or clear discharge is normal. The vagina is self-cleaning. This same discharge increases the closer you get to ovulation and when you are sexually aroused.
Brown vaginal discharge can also be a symptom of a medical concern. Some of these conditions include Pelvic Inflammatory disease, menopause,sexually transmitted diseases (gonorrhea, Chlamydia or genital warts) or cervical cancer. You should discuss it with your mom and make an appointment to see your OBGYN.
