Brown discharge after sex

Since June i have been having some brown discharge after having sex. Its not everytime but has lasted almost 2 weeks one month. I had a clear smear test last year and my doctor has done an examination where she found a cervical erosion. The discharge has been continuing so i went back to the doctors where i had another examination in which he told me my cervix looks health and the erosion is cleared but will make an appointment with a gynocologyst. Im not on any birth control and have also had a few heavier periods than normal. I'm so worried as (i know i shouldn't) bit google says my main symptoms are cervical or another vaginal cancer. I was just wondering while i wait for an appointment if the doctor would send me to a gynocologist if he did not think it was something serious or if there are other causes of this

  • Hello and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear you are worried about some ongoing symptoms and appreciate what a worry this must be for you.

    Unfortunately, no one here can say what this discharge is being caused by and you have done the right thing seeing your GP about this. 

    We can't say why they have referred you to gynaecology and this is something only they can answer, so do call them and ask them why they have done this. It may be they are unsure what is going on so are sending you to a specialist to assess you and run some more tests if needed, just to be on the safe side, or to give you peace of mind.

    Remember that most of the time ( contrary to Google) symptoms are the result of something less serious than cancer, so try not to let your mind run away with you for now.

    I hope you know more soon

    All the best
