Few days ago I felt cramps and I thought I was gonna go on my days, it s been three days now the only thing that I see a pink like smelly discharge.

Hello,

Your symptoms are indicative of the coming out of the old endometrial tissue and uterine lining that had failed to be expelled out. Taking birth control pills causes hormonal imbalance that may manifest as spotting or breakthrough bleeding that is brown or black in color. Pink smelly discharge that you are experiencing is a sign of infection like PID, STIs- chlamydia, gonorrhea, fibroids, endometriosis, etc. Get STD tests done. If tests are positive, you will be treated with antivirals and antibiotics.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
