Hi there

Thanks for your query



Cerazzette in some women can cause vaginitis, which is inflammation of vagina. Vaginitis from any cause can produce a dark discharge. Other causes of vaginitis should also be considered like infection, non-infectious causes like spray, douches, perfumed soaps, etc.

I will also recommend that you go for a pap-smear to rule out lesions of cervix and any infections of cervix and/or uterus.

Other causes need to be ruled out by your physician. If the discharge is bad enough then I will recommend that you discuss with your physician about switching to another form of contraception.



Hope I addressed your concern

Thanks
