What Does Black Or Brownish Vaginal Discharge Indicate While On Birth Control?

I have been having a thick, stringy brownish black vaginal discharge for the past two weeks. I do use tampons during my period and I am supposed to get my period soon. I am on birth control as well. Online it talks about Cervical cancer and all these other scary things. I don t want to talk to my parents about it unless it is absolutely necessary. What is going on with me down there?

Hello,

It is quite common while on hormonal pills. It does not indicates any disease condition and no treatment is required either. If symptoms persists better to consult a gynecologist and get evaluated.

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