White Vaginal Discharge, Bloating. Changed Birth Control. Is That The Reason?
Hi,
I have the Nexplanon now after my Implanon ran out, during both I've had creamy white to off white discharge and some bloating, it varies in flow from day to day and may be connected to what I eat. I really love using this form of contraceptive because it's so stress free and this is the only change I've had. Is this relatively normal/should I be worried?

Hello and welcome to HCM.
Thank you for your query.
Although vaginal discharge is listed as one of the side effects of birth control, it is also a sign of an infection. Which is why you might have to report to your doctor to get examined, and rule out/diagnose an infection. A few of the other more common symptoms associated with an infection are:
-Burning sensation while urinating
-Frequent urination
-Increased urge to urinate, but less amount of urine passed
-Chills
-Fever
-Lower abdominal and/or flank region pain
-Itching around the genitals
-Blood in urine or immediately after (not always seen)
-Vaginal discharge
-Painful sexual intercourse
and a few others.
I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-shoaib-khan/64581 . I would gladly help you.
Best wishes.
