Hello docs. i was wondering can thick brown vaginal mucus be caused by nexplanon birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Nexplanon and all progestin methods of birth control prevent pregnancy by thickening the cervical mucus, preventing entry of sperm. It makes complete sense that cervical mucus would change after getting explaining placed. You only need to worry if there is a odor associated with your discharge or symptoms like pain.
