A member asked:

I have light red brown vaginal discharge and odor what can it be? i had unprotected sex a few weeks ago

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Pregnancy is always a possibility. Purchase and perform a home pregnancy test. They usually become positive when you're about a week late. If it's negative, repeat it in 1 week and see your doctor.
