Hi,
There are a few possible causes of brown discharge after having unprotected sex. One possibility is that the discharge is due to irregular bleeding caused by a sexually transmitted infection (STI) such as chlamydia or gonorrhea. These infections can cause inflammation in the reproductive tract, which can lead to irregular bleeding and brown discharge.
Another possibility is that the brown discharge is due to the presence of old blood, which can occur if the bleeding is irregular or if the bleeding is due to a hormonal imbalance. It is important to note that brown discharge can also be a sign of pregnancy, so it is always a good idea to take a pregnancy test if you are concerned about the possibility of being pregnant. If you are experiencing brown discharge after having unprotected sex and are concerned about your health, it is important to speak with a healthcare provider.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
