A member asked:

I was treated for chlamydia 3-4 weeks ago & my doc. prescribed me birthcontrol pills to regulate my menses i been havin a brown discharge is that normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need followup: Yes, you can have slight breakthrough bleeding with the birth control pill that can make its way out as a brownish discharge. More importantly, though, you need a visit to confirm that you have, in fact, cleared the chlamydia!
