Hi,
Well, the cause of yellowish or brown
vaginal discharge is a common and usually harmless issue. Occasional
spotting between periods might have this appearance and can be normal, especially if you're taking low-dose birth control pills. So in most cases, this does not sign of disease.
If it is, then usually this indicates
bacterial vaginosis, STD or
polycystic ovarian syndrome. Less common, some other hormonal disorders may be present.
In some cases, however, a yellow or brown vaginal discharge could indicate a serious problem. Although brown and yellow vaginal discharge often does not indicate a serious problem, it should not be ignored if it persists, recurs or is accompanied by other symptoms and then you should see a gynecologist for further workup.
