What could cause irregular periods and a brownish discharge after sex?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My period started on the 10th day of this month. My date is usually the 16th. I had a very unusual period this month where it was lighter than usual, and it was mostly just brown or dark brown blood. I tried having sex for the first time a few days prior to my period, and my boyfriend had a condom on, but the penis did not really go in because it was too painful for me. I tried having sex for the second time the day after my period was over. This time, it went in a little bit, but we stopped because it hurt for me. Now, ten days after my period ended, I noticed a brown discharge in my underwear.

Is this something to worry about?

Please confirm for me.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I am very sorry about your medical condition. Do not worry. I am here to take care of you. Regarding your symptoms, I propose you have developed oligomenorrhea due to a vaginal infection. It is something to worry about.

Please take the following:

  1. Capsule Piroxicam 40 mg every day.
  2. Tablet Metronidazole 400 mg PO (orally) thrice a day.
  3. Capsule Co-Amoxiclav 625 mg PO (orally) twice a day.
  4. Tablet Medroxyprogesterone 10 mg every day.
  5. Tablet Norethisterone 5 mg PO (orally).
  6. Tablet Ketoconazole 200 mg PO (orally) twice a day.

Thank you.
