What Causes Prolonged Brown Vaginal Discharge?

I ve had Nexplanon for about 7 months and counting. I ve had occasional light spotting for the entire duration. Haven t had my period until the 6th month. It was just regular period though. However, 2 weeks after that, I started having brown discharges and it s been on for almost 3 weeks with no signs of stopping. I know it s the implant just messing around with my hormones, but am I just going to keep bleeding for awhile? Any chance of stopping it?

Hello
I really appreciate your concern
Thanks for consulting at health care magic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

brown vaginal discharge might be suggestive of Infection or inflammation, trauma or allergy of the genitourinary tract most commonly Vagina.

I see patients with similar complaints in my clinic and I would advise them for clinical examination and a battery of tests like blood for hemoglobin, CBC, Liver and kidney function test, urine culture and a vaginal swab for culture or an ultrasound to establish a diagnosis.

You may require a course of antibiotics either tablets or vaginal pessaries under supervision of your doctor.
