General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the brown discharge per vagina indicates possible bacterial or fungal infection of the urinary bug rather than stopping of the birth control pill.

Following would be useful information for your case:

- vaginal hygiene care
- avoid prolong use of same tampons
- prescription of antibiotic as penicillin or beta lactamase inhibitor metronidazole for anaerobic coverage
- local application of betamethasone cream
- sexual abstinence till complete recovery
- discuss need of any swab culture report of vaginal secretions during your planned visit to your doc.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
