Brief Answer:
It can be a side effect of aldactone.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Sorry for the long delay in my response.
This type of vaginal discharge occurs due to decidual reaction so pregnancy should be rule out first.
As in your case there is no sexual contact from one month so the chances of pregnancy are not there.
Aldactone is a spironolactone and can cause menstrual irregularities and this type of discharge in between your period.
When you stop taking the drug, the menstrual cycle irregularities automatically resolve.
Hope it is useful.
Good luck.
