Doctor insights on: Brown Discharge And Back Pain

Menstrual Pain: This may be menstrual pain. Pain from the uterus often refers to the back. If you are having long periods I would recommend evaluation by your gynecologist.

Pregnant??: You must always rule out pregnant. What concerns me most is an ectopic pregnancy since you have back pain. Please seek evaluation from your gyn to rule out pregnancy and an ectopic. Otherwise you are just lucky. Take responsibility and use contraception if you don't want to be pregnant

Common symptoms: These are common symptoms for ovulation and nothing to worry about.

Could you be: pregnant? Check a pregnancy test and see. When was your last period?? Was it normal? Are you sexually active??

Endometriosis: It is either an irritated cervix, an infection, or endometriosis or all three. It sure sounds like you need to be seen by a gynecologist.

Maybe: If you're saying that you missed a period, it's possible that you're pregnant. A quick otc home pregnancy test, however, will answer question. Brown discharge only means blood is old, but it doesn't say how old, days or weeks. Back pain is associated with pre-menstrual symptoms. First things first, take a pregnancy test to rule that out. If neg, consider discuss with doctor re missed period.

Bleeding somewhere?: Brown color suggests blood. It can be intermenstrual bleeding from the uterus due to a uterine disorder or you may be referring to blood in the urine that somehow contaminates the area surrounding the urethra. Get it checked

Menstruated: It's probably something related to your monthly cycles. Please visit your obgyn.

Ultrasound: If you are worried that you are having a miscarriage, go in to the doctor for an ultrasound. This is the best way to know for sure. Best of luck!

Menses: Do you suspect pregnancy? Please test for pregnancy if you suspect one.

Pelvic inflammation: Pelvic inflammatory disease. You could have and infection affecting the uterus and tubes. Make sure there no tampons inside.

Nothing: Just take it as a normal variation of your mestrual rythm.

Call your OB MD now: You need to call your OB md and accept his/her advice as to what to do now.

Quite Possibly: A home pregnancy test should give you some indication at this point. Other gyn or urological conditions could be causing these symptoms. Get evaluated by a dr. You will probably have a pregnancy test, ua (look at your urine), pelvic exam with culture for infection, and a blood count.

Pregnant?: Get urine test strips and check. If negative, wait 7-10 days and check again. Why you are having brown discharge is problematic, usually expelling old blood. If you are not pregnant and symptoms persist, see a gynecologist and be examined.

Check again: Not sure right now, but I would check a pregnancy test again!

Depends: If you had sex since your last period, do a home pregnancy test. If the result is negative repeat the test 4-5 days later unless you get a period by then. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.

Inflammatory process: The source with color of vaginal discharge change and temperature elevation makes physicians to try to determine the source...infectious process as Pelvic Inflammatory Disease or ovarian cyst! Sonogram may be helpful...round of empiric antibiotics too...

Abnormal bleeding: It is not unusual to have abnormal bleeding or spotting for a month or so after stopping the pills. You also could be pregnant, and with pain, you should be checked because these symptoms could represent an ectopic pregnancy.

Common problem: Irregular periods are one of the most common problems obgyns treat. If this is one time problem it usually resolves on its own. If this is a recurring problem you should be evaluated. Infections & hormonal changes can cause spotting. If there is a concern for pregnancy then do a home pregnancy test. There are many options available to help regulate the menstrual cycle.
