Question
i'm 13 and haven't started my period yet, and i'm getting brown discharge with clumps sometimes? whats wrong with me?
Answer
The brown discharge with clumps is what we call "spotting," or a small amount of menstrual bleeding that occurs between your periods. Sometimes it can occur before your periods even begin. It is very common and completely normal.
