Brown Discharge During Intercourse. Cause?
Hi, my boyfriend and I have unprotected sex. Recently I've been experiencing brown discharge during intercourse. There's no odour, irritation, pain, or itchiness. We both noticed the discharge after sex; althought he doesn't mind or isn't disgusted, I'm just simply concerned and embarrassed since I stain his sheets. Thanks for your help !

Hi,
If the discharge is being noticed only after intercourse and not any other time, it could be due either to clogged semen or cervical or vaginal trauma. I would ask you to have a physical exam and get vaginitis and cervical lesions excluded. If you are regular with your cycles and have not missed any, pregnancy is not a cause, otherwise you need to rule out pregnancy also as the cause. You would need a vaginal swab and pap smear. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
