Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
As I believe that a detailed history is an integral part of an accurate diagnosis, I would like to have a few more details before giving you my expert opinion regarding the pain and bleeding you are having.
1) Do you run temperature?
2) Is the brownish discharge continuous or intermittent?
3) Are you sexually active? Do you have unprotected intercourse?
4) What do you mean by STH? Please do not use abbreviations.
5) Do you have this lower back pain constantly at all the times or it comes and goes?
6) What treatment have you taken so far for your symptoms?
There are many causes that can cause a back pain and a brownish discharge.
Proper investigations like ultrasound scan and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are needed for diagnosis.
Awaiting your reply.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
A brownish discharge with foul smell after subtotal hysterectomy is suggestive of a vaginal infection or a cervical pathology.
You must consult your gynecologist to determine what is producing this discharge.
The doctor will need to perform several tests including :
1- Pap smear
2- Vaginal swab Culture
3-STD serology tests
With these tests , your doctor will be able to determine what is producing the discharge to give you the appropriate treatment .
For a low back pain in the coccyx, most common cause is inflammation of sacro coccygeal joint. Mild pain killer like acetaminophen and warm sitz bath may be helpful. You can get the specific treatment prescribed from your orthopedician after investigations like MRI of the spine.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
Regards.
