Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 30-year-old female. I am on contraceptives and getting spotting with an offensive odor.

Kindly help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Which contraceptive are you taking? Is there itching or any other lesions? How much is the discharge? Is there a burning sensation during urination or an increased frequency of urination? The discharge could be of some local infection or any other local lesions. There is also a possibility of implantation bleeding which usually occurs around the 14th day of menstruation. To avoid local infections, keep that area clean and dry, and change undergarments twice a day.

Hope this information helps.

Thank you.
