I have had brown vaginal discharge when usually it is always whitish. What should I do?

If you are experiencing brown vaginal discharge instead of your usual white discharge, it could be due to a phenomenon known as spotting, which is light bleeding outside of your regular menstrual cycle. If this happens frequently, it may be worth considering how your birth control method could affect it. Some birth control methods, such as the pill, can help reduce the frequency of spotting.
