What does the brownish discharge from my vagina indicate?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I fully understand your concern and will surely help you. I have gone through the details and image (attachment removed to protect the patient's recovery). Let me explain to you that for getting pregnant, the sperms have to be ejaculated inside the vagina of the female. These sperms then need to fertilize an egg, and the fertilized egg is then required to be implanted in the uterus of the female. When all this happens successfully, then a female is said to be pregnant. In your case, since the intercourse was protected, there is no likelihood of pregnancy. In addition, you have taken the emergency contraceptive pill, so there is no chance. See, the emergency contraceptive pills are hormone-based, and they work in different phases. Firstly they prevent the release of eggs from the ovary. Secondly, if the egg is already released, it prevents fertilization of the egg by making the fluid thick, thus causing difficulty for the sperm to swim, thirdly. If the egg was already fertilized, it prevents the implantation of the egg in the uterus lining. All this leads to some mild spotting or bleeding in certain females, which indicates the clearing of the uterus lining. The color of the spotting can vary from brown to bright red. Do not worry and take a rest. You may also see a delay in your next period as these pills interfere with certain females' menstrual patterns.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I would recommend to you not to rely on the withdrawal method as precum also contains sperms and, in some cases, has lead to pregnancy. As far as the recent bleeding and last period are concerned, it is not related. Also, I would request you to please use birth control methods if you are sexually active rather than taking emergency contraceptive pills often, as sometimes it leads to problems later in conceiving.
