Women of all ages can develop urinary tract infections regardless of sexual activity. If it burns when she urinates or has a foul smell, it is most likely a uti. Urine specimen is all the doctor needs and nothing can be inferred from that regarding sexual activity. If the discharge is vaginal, then an exam may be in order. Doctors do not assume that the absence of the hymen indicates sex. Most women have worn them away with tampon use. The brown discharge was likely old blood that preceded her period.

If she is still uncomfortable when her period ends, she should see the doctor.
