Question
hi doctor. i am 11 years old, i have been having brown vaginal discharge since last week. i am so worried and don't know what to do. please help me.
Answer
Not to worry - it may be your period has started, and if it is your first, then it is not very red. Keep track on a calendar and if it happens again in about a month, it was your period. If it does not stop, see your doctor and congratulations!
