What Causes Dark Brown Vaginal Discharge While On Birth Control?
I started getting dark brown discharge after taking birth control. About a month or so ago was when it started. I got my normal menstrual cycle and it only ended up lasting two days, but after that I have kept having brown discharge. I knew the difference between my menstrual cycle and the discharge because my menstrual cycle was more red and this is more discharge like then blood. I was just wondering if there was anything I can do about it.
Hi, Let me tell you that the symptoms described by you suggest that you have Vaginal yeast infection. So Don't worry In this situation, I suggest fluconazole 400mg and clotrimazole cream apply locally. I also suggest using cotton underwear and maintaining good hygiene.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards, Dr. Arup Majumdar (General and Family physician)
