Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

What does the pink discharge indicate? I have been experiencing pink discharge for about a month.

 

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

Pink discharge, in most cases, results from the menstrual cycle, hormonal changes, or the use of birth control pills. These conditions are typically considered normal, and pink discharge in such contexts is not a cause for concern. However, in certain instances, pink discharge can indicate other conditions that warrant assessment, particularly if accompanied by additional symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, or a foul odor. In these cases, pink discharge may be associated with conditions like ovarian cysts or pelvic inflammatory disease.

 

Thanks
