Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
Stinking brownish vaginal discharge could indicate you have infection of uterine cavity.
Kindly do the following to overcome it.
1. Clean the genital area with mild antispetic solution like Savlon and warm water twice daily.
2. Take a course of antibiotic Tablet. Metranidazole orally.
Wear loose fitting undergarments and keep the genital region under good hygiene. Abstain from sexual activities till the symptoms subside completely.
In case the symptoms does not subside or recurs, you need to get investigated by undergoing ultrasound scan and consult Gynecologist with the report for evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
