Usually not, B.V which is bacterial vaginosis is an infection that can occur in most women. Signs include foul smelling discharge, excess discharge and can have a gray or white tint. The effects that you can have are itching, swelling of the vagina, and burning with urination. But in fact most women do not have any of these effects. The reason it can be harmful is if you are pregnant it has been known to sometimes lead to premature births, and it can interfere with surgeries like abortion. Either way its good to get it looked at by a doctor to give antibiotics and make sure it isn't chlamydia or gonorrhea. Hope this helped :)

Contraception implant in your arm you have had it for nearly 9 months and you have discharge on your paints what does it mean?

Vaginal discharge is the hallmark to STD.. get tested. Brown smelly discharge is Gonnorhea. If it is ordorless brown discharge around the 28th day when your cycle would have been, that is a normal side effect of the treatment and a pant liner should take care of it. It should be less than 2 tablespoons of drainage. If it is more in volume and it's persistent... refrain from sex and get tested for STD.
