Brownish Vaginal Discharge

Hi. I am wondering if you can tell me why I've been having this slimy brownish/pink dischage. It seems to start right after my period and lasts for about 2 weeks and then about a week before my period it goes away and then it starts all over again after my period. It seems this has been going on for a few years now. I've been to my yearly exams and they haven't found anything on the PAP test, so I guess I'm okay but it just seems strange. Why all of a sudden have I gotten this. I have my daughter almost 4 years ago and it seems like it started a year or so after I had her. Any ideas?

i am having a problem right now about these symptoms.

1. i have this light brown discharge, and very few blood, not sticky, but watery or i think it has a few water in it but i'm not sure, it is also not smelly and the discharge was not really a lot.. it has been like this for a week now..

2. i was examined for std's and it all came negative. six months ago, i had also pap smear that resulted normal. Last wk my ob/gyne checked my vagina and she said it is swollen and it's quite bleeding. she also found a one small cyst, but she think it's benign...she then AGAIN took a pap smear test and gram stool but i haven't got the results yet.

3. i have also a history of yellow green discharge which 2 of my previous ob/gynes told me that im fine since i was negative in STD and my pap smear resulted normal. But the yellow green discharge still continues after my twice check up and i dont know how am i going to persuade them there's something wrong..

4. My Last sex was last month... it was like 4 wks ago.. and that's the time when my uti started.

5. this symptoms i have right now resulted after my UTI was cured. I am also acidic and constipated just in case some of these symptoms are connected.

6. i also feel the my belly button and other part of my tummy, like the lower part of my chest, the right and left area where my appendix is are sometimes having a sharp pain like needle stabbing.

7. I got  urine tested and my ob gyne told me that i dont have a uti.

8. i am 21 years old female. i only have one boyfriend and my boyfriend does not having sex with anyone.
  
my doctor prescribed me metrodinazole and ofloxacin and currently im still taking it..

i just feel bad right now and i dont know what to do... and my meds (metrodinazole and  ofloxacin is making me acidic.. i feel hungry everytime..


and now i am getting paranoid coz i think i might have a vaginal cancer or cervical cancer... these symptoms make  me cry every night and stressing me so much...

hi. i also have a very slightly similar problem as anaig. the only problem i have is before my periods like 2 weeks before there is a funny smell which goes on getting worse and when my period date is near there is a white discharge with itchiness. i got examined by my gyne and she said there is nothing so serious and gave me medicine. for few days there wasn't any itchiness but after that when discharge occurs itching is there. but after my periods there is no smell or itching. can you help me out by giving some advise?

HI!
Whenever someone has an abnormal discharge like you're describing, I wonder about the possibility of polyps in the uterine lining.  I would also wonder about the possibitlity of endometritis (which is a chronic low grade infection/inflamation of the uterine lining).
If you were my patient, I would consider a saline ultrasound to rule out polyps, and depending upon how that looked, I would then consider either an endometrial biopsy or 14 day course of antibiotics.

One other possibility if all of the above didn't help, would be a trial of birth control pills to see if that made a difference.

Good luck!
