Brief Answer:
Pelvic infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Discharge from vagina and pain lower abdomen are not the side effects of I pill.
Rather,these are the symptoms of pelvic infection.
I suggest her to OBGYN specialist to get properly examined internally and get appropriate treatment timely. Antibiotics need to be given.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
