What?! As a health practitioner, I would say brown discharge is NOT normal. It could indeed be normal if it is part of your period but if that isnt due and there is any irregular smell there - I recommend booking to see your doctor so she can check everything is fine down there. Tests are painless, and it isnt anything a doctor hasnt seen before. If it makes you more comfortable, request a female doctor.
Legally there has to be more than one person present in the room during these tests anyway (due to allegations of sexual attacks and so on) and it is usually a female nurse.
