What Causes Brown Vaginal Discharge After Having Sex?
Hi, I recently had sex and two days after I had a heavy dark brown discharge. I m really worried it is something serious. I am 19 and have been trying to conceive for the last 9 months. Could I be infertile? I want to see a doctor to make sure I m normal and everything is okay but I know because of my age I will be judged for trying to have a baby

Hi! thanks for writing to us and for sharing your recent health problem!
You have not mentioned the date of your last period; however, as per your history, I could consider following reasons for the heavy dark brown vaginal discharge 2 days after physical relation:
1. some endometrial or cervical polyp dislodged! 40% possibility
2. products of conception on the way of miscarriage: 30 % possibility
3. traumatic bleeding or hematoma in the cervix 10% possibility
4. infections 10% possibility
5. hormonal drugs/medicine related changes in the endometrium or cervix resulting in desquamation of the mucosa 05% possibility
6. kind of spotting, intercurrent bleeding or implantation bleeding 5% possibility
Therefore, you need to:
1. do a pregnancy test
2. see a gynecologist for an internal examination
3. do a PAP test
4. do ultrasound of the lower abdomen
and revert back to us with feedback!
