How To Treat Vaginal Brown Discharge Along With Bladder Infection While On Implanon?
I ve had my implanon in for about a year and four months now. After a month or so of having it, I stopped having my period. I haven t had it since. But just this morning, January 22, 2014. I had a fairly good amount of brown discharge. Out of curiosity I went ahead and took a look down there.. Sure enough. It was all over down there. I recently had a bladder infection that previous week. My boyfriend and I have been together for seven months. We are sexually active, and just recentlly he started to finish in me. I don t want to tell him whats going one because I don t want to worry him. But it s hard because I get so worried myself. I am really looking for some answers so if anyone has any clue what is going on with my body, I would love to hear your advice! Thank you so much.

Hello ma'am and welcome.
A brown discharge while on birth control but in the absence of any other symptoms of an infection could be due to a hormonal infrction that has resulted from the use of the birth control. But this will of course have to be confirmed with the help of an elaborate evaluation.
If this is indeed because of the implanon then your doctor may have to discuss removal of the same as this mau result in an inconvenience to your sex life. Please discuss the same with your doctor and even alternate contraceptive techniques.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
