Hello,

Most probable issue of brown discharge with light blood flow of menses is related to vaginal or cervical infection with bacteria or fungi most likely. Guidelines at present for better recovery:
- Vaginal hygiene with antiseptic liquid or soap
- Vaginal douching with Betadine or epsom salt sitz bath
- Wearing loose, clean, cotton inner wear
- Avoidance of vaginal or anal sex if involved
- No use of similar tampons over a long period of time, which fastens the growth of staph aureus bacteria
- Plenty of liquids to maintain hydration
- Cranberry sachets or pills
- Urinary alkaliser as potassium citrate
- Citrus fruits with vitamin-C as oranges and grapes
- Chewable vitamin-C medicine
- Anti-fungal medications such as Fluconazole or Itraconazole
- Anti-bacterial medication such as Amoxicillin with Clavulanic acid, Metronidazole
- Anti-spasmodic medicine such as Drotaverine or Dicyclomine

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
