What causes fever and brown vaginal discharge during pregnancy?
Patient: Hi, I think I am 5 weeks. I have been running a low grade fever for 5 days and everytime I urinate, there is light brown discharge with like very small grey and brown flakes of tissue in it. I called my doc but he said it would be too early to see anything now and to just go to the ER if I started bleeding bright red and cramping. Is this normal? Doctor: HI,    I can understand your concern.   * In 5 weeks pregnancy it's possible to conform by urine pregnancy test/ USG abdomen.    Some times bleeding is possible with fever i early pregnancy -this is due to hormonal deficiency caused by stress   *To avoid probable pregnancy loss-   Get you pregnancy confirmed/ excluded with help of investigations & a gynecologist's consultation. If pregnancy is +ve, you would need hormonal supplement (for the bleeding you have)along with fever medicines..     Take bed rest/ light nutritious diet.      Visit ER if there is bleeding in spite of the care taken.   Thanks.
