What Causes Brown Vaginal Discharge During Pregnancy?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...

Hi, I'm 6 months pregnant. Early in my pregnancy I got a yeast infection and my doctor said it was cleared up. But, I have a lot of brownish like discharge, but it looks like dirt. I was 3 times a day and I don't know what I can do for it or why it appears. Is this normal? I'm too embarrassed to ask my doctor.

welcome to Health care magic.

1.Yes, brown discharge is seen during the pregnancy - in presence of fungal / bacterial infections.
2.Even though its causing discomfort - you have to see your doctor and get treated, there are treatment through vaginal - for fungal infections for easy cure, but if you leave it alone, it may complicate.
3.At the same time one has to confirm that its not amniotic fluid.
4.Get an appointment with your doctor and get examined, after that you may request your doctor for an ultrasound for fetal well being and amniotic fluid levels.
5.Please monitor the fetal movements. Suggest do needful things done.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
