Hello, Abnormal vaginal discharge is a common complaint across all age groups. The discharge may be due to excessive (physiological) formation of secretions or due to an infection. Since you had fever and discharge is brown colored it is likely to be infection. Discharge due to infection is foul smelling and causes much irritation. Non-specific vaginitis occurs commonly in debilitated women, pill users, pregnancy and diabetics. Specific infections occur due to candida (fungus), trichomonas or bacteria. Poor hygiene predisposes to such infections. Lactobacilli (Myconip, vaginal tab) will help to restore vaginal acidity and thus reduce bacterial growth. A number of fixed-dose combinations or kits are available for treatment of mixed vaginal infections.I recommend use of one such combination in my patients.You can also try one of them. High standards of personal hygiene are an essential part of the treatment. On precautionary basis consider visit to your doctor, if you have not been screened for cervical cancer recently.I am mentioning this on a precautionary basis keeping in mind your age. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
