What Causes Lower Back Pain And Clear Vaginal Discharge Post Intake Of Plan B?

My girlfriend has taken a Plan B pill on Monday, she says that she feels lower back pain and has a clear, vaginal discharge and that there is a scent that it s producing that she claims isn t a normal thing. Is this normal to be experiencing these symptoms at all? If it is, should they be lasting for days?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Welcome to HCM. I am sorry to hear about her condition. I will try to help out as much as I can.
Low back pain and malodorous vaginal discharge usually point towards an underlying vaginal infection. She needs to visit a physician to get examined. If it is a vaginal infection, the physician will recommend her antibiotics. Sometimes the antibiotic should be taken by both the partners to prevent a recurrence of the infection. Not experiencing any symptoms by the other partner is not a reason for not taking the antibiotic as this infection could be silent (asymptomatic) in men. You should ask the doctor whether you also need the antibiotic prescription.
I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact if you have any further questions.

sincerely,
Dr. Waqas Hayat.
