Being On Birth Control, Why Do I Have Itching In Vagina With A Brownish Discharge?

i am currently on birth control and i think i could have a yeast infection, my vagina and surrounding areas are itchy but not unbearable. i have read that when on the pill you are more prone to getting these infections. i am trying to keep clean and eat healthy in the hope that it clears up by itself and if not i will go see a doctor next week. Also the past few days ive noticed a small amount of odourless brown discharge in my pants and sometimes when i wipe. What could you suggest this be?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The itching and the brownish discharge that you are having is likely to be due to a vaginal infection. A swab culture will help in proper diagnosis.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
