What Causes Brown Discharge When On Birth Control?
Hi am an 18 year old female. I am on my first month of birth control and I have been having brown discharge for two days, starting 9 days before my period is supposed to start. Today I got a fever of 102, chills, muscle pains, and congestion. Does the discharge have anything to do with this? I think I may have the flu. What are the reasons for this brown discharge?

Hello mam it's good that u are using birth control pills
just wanted to let you know that they only prevent you from getting pregnant but not help prevent from sexually transmitted disease
if u getting discharge with fever you have got infection kindly don't delay and show yourself to an doctor for checkup
as with medication it will be cured else you may be in trouble
incase u need any clarification kindly write in
