Hi,

Sometimes because of the oestrogen content of pills can cause vaginal discharge, this is absolutely normal if the discharge is not itchy or irritating or foul smelling and there is certainly no infection present. If you are so much bothersome discharge, you can go for other contraceptive methods like copper t or progesterone only pill.

Also you can get a vaginal swab to rule out any infection.

I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow-ups. If you like my answers kindly rate it, and write a review as well. Please do not forget to accept it.

Thank you,
Wish you good health.
