Yellow Pinkish Brown Discharge In Between Periods. Delayed Periods Also Bleeding After Sex. Pregnancy Test Negative. Reason For Discharge?

I stopped taking birth control a month ago and for the past few months, I have been having yellow sometimes pinkish brown discharge in between periods. Also bleeding after sex. I believe I may have cervixcal erosion. My period is a few days late. I've taken 2 pregnancy tests both negative. What can be causing my period to be late. This week I have been having yellow clumpy discharge.

Hello,
thanks for using health care magic

Yellow pinkish discharges between periods are not a normal
symptom together with bleeding after sex. Both symptoms
are highly suggestive of a genital tract infection which is most
probably chronic.

In addition to a possible infection, the symptoms could be
indicative of more severe conditions such as cancer.

It will be imperative to visit a doctor for detail examination,
speculum exam and for tests such as vaginal smear for
gram staining, ultrasound
to rule out chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, Chlamydia
serology etc.

You will be put on antibiotics depending on the germ(s) that
will be incriminated and the antibiotic should be cyclical for up
to three cycles ( i.e. you shall be on antibiotics after each
menses for the next two menses that will follow your present
treatment) so as to effective erradicate the germ which could
use menstrual blood as a good culture medium.

Hope this helps you,
Best regards
Dr Achuo
