HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The brown discharge is usually old blood.
This is the most common cause.
At this stage , since this is the first time this has occurred, you can try to monitor and see if it recurs.
If it does, you may need to be seen by your doctor. This assessment should include physical examination of the abdomen , vagina and cervix.
Testing including a pap smear if no recent one and an ultrasound, can be done.
I hope this helps
