Hi for the past 3 days I ve been having a thick light orange/pink looking discharge and I m not sure what it s from. I get my period in 11 days and it s usually always on time. I m not sure if it s because I recently started taking birth control. Thank you for your help!
Hallow Dear, Birth control pills contain Estrogen and/or Progesterone combination jointly or singly. Estrogen is a hormone which increases vaginal discharge due to the proliferation of glands in the mouth of the uterus (cervix) while Progesterone thicken the secretions. So while on birth control pills, increased vaginal mucoid discharge is expected and is a physiological phenomenon. You need not be concerned about it. Even when examined vaginally, cervical erosion also will be noted while on birth control pills. This needs no attention nor any treatment. I hope your stress is removed.
