Hello friend,
Having a brownish vaginal discharge is quite disturbing, trust me I know. There are several reasons this could be happening to you. In my case it was due to Bacterial Vaginosis but it could also be caused by a wide range of other things.
Vulvovaginitis is the most common cause of a brown vaginal discharge. Vulvovaginitis is an infection of the vagina or vulva. It is caused by several things like Yeasts, bacteria, viruses and some sexually transmitted diseases (STD).
A yeast infection can have a brownish vaginal discharge if it is extreme and around the time of your menstrual cycle. Candida albicans is the bacteria that cause this type of vulvovaginitis. A yeast infection may have a slightly yeasty odor or no odor at all. You can cure a yeast infection naturally at home one time and be done with it forever if you follow the right program. Over the counter treatments are designed to fix the symptoms of a candida infection but usually don't fix the root of the problem. Which means you will just get it back and not worth the effort to me.
A yellow to brownish vaginal discharge with a fishy smell are one the leading bacterial vaginosis symptoms. The odor can be very strong with a extreme bacterial infection with the discharge being a light to heavy liquid consistency. Bacterial vaginosis is very common and easy to cure in the privacy of your own home with a good system to follow.
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is caused by the spread of the two bacteria chlamydia and gonorrhea. This is a sexual transmitted disease (STD). This type a bacterial infection is a infection of the ovaries, uterus or fallopian tubes. More symptoms of PID will be painful urination, bleeding after intercourse, a foul odor and pain in the pelvis or lower back. You need to see a physician if you are having these symptoms.
Chlamydia and gonorrhea both will have symptoms of a brownish vaginal discharge, so you may not have PID. However you still need to go see your doctor as soon as possible.
Genital warts is actually a viral skin disease that causes wart like growths to appear on the genitals. This STD's symptoms are vaginal bleeding after intercourse, itching and a brownish vaginal discharge. These aren't really warts so don't try a over the counter wart removal treatment on them. You really just need to make a appointment with your doctor.
Cervical cancer symptoms may include a continuous watery pink, brown, bloody discharge with a foul smell. Vaginal bleeding between periods, and after intercourse or really any bleeding after menopause may also be a indication of cervical cancer. If you have this type of discharge please consult a doctor.
