16 Year Old Suffer From Anemia. Brownish Discharge, Constipation, Bloating. What Could Be Causing This?

I am 16 and I havent been on birth control for about two years now because of my anemia . I noticed a brown discharge through out my entire month of pills this month. Im on my last week and still getting this brown discharge. Sometimes its stringy and a couple drops fall in the toilet when im peeing. It also seems as though ive been constiapted but i was also sick this past weekend. I keep thinking im bloated and i feel like im getting pains in my tummy, Im not sure if im siking myself out or if theres actually something wrong.

Hi
Thanks for using Health Care Magic Forum,

Constipation is major problem and you may be on iron tablets for treating anemia so chance of brown colour is normal .
1)Drink plenty of fliuids
2)add fiber rich fruits in diet
3)syp lactulose 10ml taken in night can prevent constipation.

Another thing is do endoscopy study of gi tract so as to find any abnormal bleeding from upper gi tract.

I Hope I Provided Useful Information. Do ask Furthur Questions to help You get well soon.
