It happens: The hormones of implanon sort of fool your body into thinking it's pregnant by providing a steady dose of progesterone just like in pregnancy. Galactorrhea can occur after stopping birth control. Try a tight sports bra and breast pads to compress the ducts. If it persists see your gynecologist.

Exam and testing: Vaginal discharge requires an examination to determine the cause and treatment. Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause and often has a vaginal odor. Vaginal itching can be a sign of a yeast infection. Sometimes vaginal discharge can be a sign of a sexual transmitted infection. Testing is important to determine the treatment and keep you and your partner safe.
