What is brown discharge before period?

Menstruation is a sign of female maturity. It is a phenomenon of endometrial shedding caused by the failure of fertilization after ovulation.

2. Abdominal pain: Periodic pain between menstruation. The pain can be very mild or severe dysmenorrhea. It usually lasts for several hours and can last for 2-3 days in some patients.
