What Causes Dark Brown Vaginal Discharge And Fever While On Depo Shot?

I m on the birth control shot, depot I believe, and the three months are coming to an end soon, but while I was on it, I let my boyfriend ejaculate in me all the time since it would stop any pregnancy, but after a while, sex would be a bit painful, some burning after sec when I peed, some itching, white to yellow, smelly discharge, and after a while, it was light red discharge, slowly changing into light brown and now a really dark brown gooey discharge, I started feeling nauseated out of the blue last night, felt like a night of had a fever, and lost of appetite. During the depot, I noticed I had a lot of mood swings. But I m mostly concerned about the dark brown discharge, and it may be weird but when I m doing my own thing, I can feel something coming out of my vagina. Any thought on this?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

The brown discharge can be related to a side effect of the Depo shot. For women taking hormonal birth control the appearance of some dark discharge is nothing to be concerned about. I recommend to maintain a good hygiene.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
