Hello
Thanks for writing to us.
The irregular bleeding you are having is most likely due to infection of the uterus and surrounding structures.
Brownish spotting specially after intercourse is more suggestive of an old bleeding episode.
You need to have broad spectrum antibiotics specially the tetracycline group with smooth muscle relaxants like drotaverine to give adequate rest to the uterine musculature.
Repeat ultrasound scan after complete antibiotic course will help in assessing the extent of recovery. It is better to avoid sex until full recovery.
Arcoxia is not recommended for use during late pregnancy. If there is a need to consider using Arcoxia during your pregnancy, your doctor will discuss with you the benefits and risks of using it.
Please consult your Gynaecologist to confirm the same and to discuss the necessary investigations to undergo and treatment options.
I hope my answer and recommendations are adequate and helpful. Waiting for your further follow up queries if any.
Regards.
