A member asked:

I have a pink/orange discharge which i got after the brown discharge after my period. the dr gave me metronidazole but did not work. what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal : The color of the discharge you describe can be normal. What's not normal is the fact that you feel as if the Metronidazole did not work for your infection. I would go back and see the doctor and make sure that you are treated sufficiently.
