Hi,
Brown discharge is quite common with PCOS and it will settle by itself.
If the discharge persists you can consult a gynecologist and get a vaginal swab done because infection like vaginosis or yeast can cause similar symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
