A member asked:
Since brith control has extra hormones, why does it affect discharge ? like color (without health issues or infections/stds), smell, and thickness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally: it has very few such effects, but it is quite variable. Also, it depends upon the exact hormone formulation. Discuss w/your doctor.
