What Causes Abdominal Discomfort Along With Brown Vaginal Discharge?

Hi, I am a 29 year old female, I have been experiencing abdominal discomfort it is not constant it comes and goes along with vaginal discharge of dark brown that lasts maybe a day or two multiple times a month. And on a daily basis I have heavy tissue in my urine that falls to,the bottom of the bowl. I had the essure put in after my 4th and last child about a year ago. I ve been to the ER a few times when the pain became unbearable where they have done multiple ultrasounds and scans of my gallbladder. Everything seemed normal. I ve had blood test after blood test that shows my white blood cell count is slightly elevated along with high liver enzymes..

Hi,

Well, the cause of yellowish or brown vaginal discharge is a common and usually harmless issue. Occasional spotting between periods might have this appearance and can be normal, especially if you're taking low-dose birth control pills. So in most cases, this is not a sign of disease. If it is, then usually this indicates bacterial vaginosis, STD or polycystic ovarian syndrome. Less common, some other hormonal disorders may be present. In some cases, however, a yellow or brown vaginal discharge could indicate a serious problem. Although brown and yellow vaginal discharge often does not indicate a serious problem, it should not be ignored if it persists, recurs or is accompanied by other symptoms and then you should see gynecologist for further workup.

In some cases, a yellow or brown vaginal discharge could indicate a serious problem.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
