On Pill. Having Brown Discharge From Vagina. Pregnancy Test Negative. Reason For Discharge?
Hello, im a 20 year old female. Im having a problem with discharge . Im on the pill and i have been for the past 5 years. It can be dark brown then changes to a light brown, there s no smell or pain or itchiness. Ive had it for about a week now and im getting a little concerned. Ive done a pregnancy test and it came out negative so ive ruled that out. This has not happened to me before. I have recently been to the GUM clinic and all results came back negative. should i go back again?

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Usually the presence of a brown vaginal discharge is as a result of vaginal infections or small amount of dried blood which has a brown appearance.
If you have been screened for sexually transmitted infections then it is likely to dried blood.
You can monitor it, if it continues beyond another week then you may want to visit your doctor.
Hope this helps
