Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As a physician I would like to tell you that there could be many causes for dark brown vaginal discharge like ovulation, missed abortion, endometrial tissue problems, diseases like bacterial vaginosis, pelvic inflammatory disease.

Thus, I would suggest that you should visit your OB/GYN doctor and get evaluated to point the exact cause of your bleeding and get the treatment done. Thanks for trusting and posting your query on this forum.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Abhijeet
