What Causes Brown Vaginal Discharge After Intercourse?
I was ovulating the beginning of the week. I was very emotional this week also. Thursday I had sex, a little rough, then Friday I have a brown discharge with a slight itch. Today there is more, it's pink/brown, smells like wet dandruff, and I am having cramps the last few hours. Sex was unprotected and I am not on birth control. Is my period starting early? I had cervical bleed earlier this year. Paps have been normal besides one abnormal one 4 years ago. Should I go to the doctor?

Hello,
The possible reasons for your situation and the available management options are
1. Rough intercourse- it may cause trauma and subsequent spotting.
2. Infection- It can also lead to abnormal vaginal discharge. Simultaneous urinary tract infection often seen. Swabs and urinalysis help in detection.
3. Unhealthy cervix-given past history. It needs further evaluation.
4. A possible unhealthy undetected pregnancy. A blood test for pregnancy, a transvaginal or pelvic sonogram, blood counts, hormone assays helps in planning further management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shanti Vennam
