What Does Brown Vaginal Discharge Indicate?

70 yr old female who had a complete hysterectomy 33 yrs ago is now having vaginal discharge that is brown in color. Otherwise in excellent health. Have seen primary care dr who took scraping specimen and lab work came back negative. No itching, burning during urination nor tenderness in vaginal area.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It seems like she is suffering from vaginal infection. A secretions smear and culture needs to be done. Also her doctor will examine her physically to see the conditions of vulva and vagina. Rectovilvar fistula may give brown discharge.

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