Hello I have been on lo overa birth control for a few years now..recently I have a lot of dental work done and have been using anti biotics for about a month..I started my period this month like always and started my pills again after..right away had light stopping for about 4 days then nothing..but for about the last week I have been having a brownish red discharge lower back pain and fatigue took a pregnancy test that was negative..is this just because of the pills?
Hello dear, The symptoms like brownish red discharge associated with lower back pain and fatigue can be attributed to infection in Genitourinary tract. The birth control pills provide protection from unwanted pregnancies but not from infections. Moreover, prolonged intake of antibiotics usually causes fungal infections. So, kindly consult a Gynecologist & get a proper clinical examination done. Investigations like complete blood count, Ultrasound scan of the abdomen & pelvis & culture/sensitivity of the discharge will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis. Take care.
