    Not all cases of brown vaginal discharge are cause for concern.Brown vaginal discharge is most often associated with old endometrial tissues.It could also mean that for whatever reason during your last menses the entire uterine lining failed to make a timely exit. What you are seeing now is the fashionably late exit.

    In some cases however there is cause for concern, Some common conditions causing brown vaginal discharge include: cervical cancer, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), perimenopause, menopause, or sexually transmitted diseases like gonorrhea, Chlamydia or vaginal warts.Certainly a visit with a qualified health care provider will provide much relief and a clear treatment course.

    If the cause of the brown vaginal discharge is simply old uterine cells, then the treatment may be simple life style suggestions such as better nutrition, regular exercise and drinking more water.
