Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My partner and I had sex a week ago. She was on the birth control implant, implanon, and I used a condom. Today is eight days after the intercourse and I fingered her pretty rough today. I noticed dark-colored discharge on my fingers. But she tells me she is fine because she has the implanon and we used a condom. Please tell me if she is fine or not. Maybe I went to rough and scratched her or is she starting her period. I am really scared. Please help. She is not a virgin. But she has not had sex before me in a year or so.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
She is fine. Implanon is a very effective method and the failure rate is almost zero. Also, you have used condoms too, so why worry? Usually, the hormone levels of Implanon create thick brownish or maroon secretions from the cervical canal and some do come out of the uterine cavity. Both of these are normal. They cannot be stopped or treated. If the bleeding was because of the direct injury to the vagina as you felt, the blood would have been bright red blood. At this young age, she is not expected to have any grave conditions too. So, just relax. She is fine.
