Question : Pls i just noticed a brownish red vaginal disc harge this evening and it is grainy and am having lower abd pain. I have an implant inserted 7mths ago and i just finished my 2nd period since insertion and it lasted about 10 days instead of my usual 5 days.Am a mother of two last Child is 1yr 1 mth old.was having a slight whitish discharge before my period. I just inserted a vaginal pessary containing metronidazole, clotrimazole and lactobaccilus
Brief Answer:
Its pelvic infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I can understand your concerns.
The reason for this discharge is infection.
Lower abdominal pain with implant inside with discharge which is not periods is sure sign of pelvic infection.
I will advise you to get a culture microscopy and antibiotic sensitivity of the discharge and a sonography of pelvis.
This will help more accurate diagnosis and treatment.
If you have already started with the pessary then complete the course.
