    Question

    Hi. I know there are a lot of questions about this, but none of them really relate to my situation. I've had my period about three weeks ago, and this week for the first time, a brown discharge appeared and is worrying me. I am a virgin. Is this normal?

    Answer

    If you have never been sexually active, I do not think I would worry. You might keep track on a calendar to see if it happens at a certain time in your cycle, and of course, if you get any other symptoms, see your doctor.
