Why is my period late with increased discharge?
Patient's Query
I had unprotected sex on 16th sep then after that on 18th sep I got increased white vaginal discharge, I had low BP as pulse rate gets high, feels not to eat and on 21st sep I started new pack of hormonal birth control pills regularly for 1 week in which I had vomiting after 14 hrs then I went to gynecologist for increased vaginal discharge, I took medicine she gave and got relieved from the health issues. But now my period was on 7th oct but I didn't get them I waited for one day on next day I had very light spotting of brown colour blood which on 10th October increased to spotting of red colour accompanied with severe leg pain and cramps.
Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri
I think the vaginal discharge and the menstrual cycle changes you experience were caused by the hormonal birth control pills you started recently. It has been said that these pills can cause irregular bleeding and changes in discharge. The spotting of brown and red blood could be reinforced by hormonal changes termed breakthrough bleeding. The leg pain and cramps which are severe might be related to your menstrual cycle or could be a side effect of the pills. The good thing is that you visited your gynecologist to seek help. However, getting medical advice for further evaluation is essential if the symptoms persist or worsen.
