Hi, Nausea and diarrhea shows that you had Gastroenteritis. It is not related to brown vaginal discharge. The brown vaginal discharge looks like old blood or denaturated blood and body is trying to get rid of it. Other causes can be hormonal imbalance , medications ,birth control pills etc. also needs to be ruled out. I suggest to you to see a Gynecologist to confirm the diagnosis with an examination.
It may be hormonal imbalance . If you were mostly not ovulating during your period past several months, than Estogen hormone dominates over the uterus and thickens the inner lining of the uterus. Thichened lining increse the amount of bleeding during the period. If bleeding is to much the uterus is unable to produce enough anticoagulant until removal all the blood due to period from the cavity of the uterus and some blood may stay inside as a blood clot. When you get your montly period old clotted blood and fresh blood from the period combines and comes out as a brown discharge.
You need to find out your blood progesteron level , if it is low you need to be put on progesterone hormone pill .
