What Causes Brown Vaginal Discharge?

You need evaluation for brown discharge.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
In my opinion brown discharge always need evaluation and treatment. There are two most common cause of brown vaginal discharge-
1) Due to hormonal disturbances- if your IUD having hormonal component.
2) Due to vaginal infection (infected IUD )- reason in your case may be sexual contact infect your IUD.
In my opinion since you have an IUD and history of unprotected intercourse, you should consult a gynaecologist and get your examination done to rule out infection. If infection is there then it can be treated with antibiotic or if it is not controlled then your IUD removed after consulting your treating doctor.
If it is due to hormonal changes then it may be resolved in 3-6 months automatically.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have further questions I will be happy to help you.
Good luck.
Regards
Dr. Richa
