Does Having Implanon Cause Brownish Discharge Now And Then ?

Hello, I have the implanon and have done for a over a year. Every now and then I get a brownish discharge that has lasted a day or two only this time it s lasted a bit longer. I ve had exams recently, do you think this could be the cause of the discharge? Otherwise I don t get periods at all. Also, would like to know if any recreational drugs reduce the effectiveness or cause any bad side effects. Thank you

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Implanon can lead to side effects like intermenstrual sporting, breakthrough bleeding etc.
So, the spotting you had could be due to that.
Stress and strain due to exsms can affect the hormonal levels.
That can lead to spotting.
Possibly it will subside soon.
If persists you can go for symptomatic treatment with antifibrinolytic drugs or additional dose of hormones with your doctor's advice.
Recreational drugs may not directly affect the function of the birth control pills.
But sometimes they can affect the metabolism of the pills and that can lead to fluctuations in hormonal levels.
Take care.
