Causes of brown vaginal discharge after 40 days of amenorrhea

Women in menopause will experience amenorrhea, but many women find that they still have irregular vaginal bleeding or even brown secretions after menopause. What is going on? Many people are very worried after this happens, fearing that they have some serious gynecological disease. In this regard, experts said that if a woman experiences vaginal bleeding after menopause, it should be taken seriously, the cause should be actively identified, and treatment should be provided in a timely manner.

According to the analysis and summary of clinical data, the reasons for brown vaginal discharge in elderly women after menopause can be divided into three categories: malignant tumors, inflammation of the reproductive organs, and drug abuse.

1. Endometrial cancer

The clinical manifestations are irregular vaginal bleeding of small or moderate amounts or bloody leucorrhea before and after menopause. Gynecological examination: The uterus did not shrink, but was full and hard, and there were no abnormal changes in the cervix.

2. Cervical cancer

The main clinical manifestations are contact bleeding, bloody leucorrhea and irregular vaginal bleeding.

3. Ovarian cancer

Because the tumor produces a large amount of estrogen, the atrophic endometrium is affected by estrogen and proliferates, leading to vaginal bleeding. Gynecological examination may reveal solid masses on one or both sides of the lower abdomen. They vary in size, usually medium in size, and some may have cystic changes.

4. Senile vaginitis

The main characteristics are excessive vaginal discharge, bloody discharge and odor. It is mainly due to the decline of ovarian function and low estrogen levels, which cause the disappearance of glycogen in the vaginal epithelium, reduced vaginal secretions, and alkaline properties, which weaken women's vaginal resistance and eventually cause infection and lead to senile vaginal. If a gynecological internal examination is performed, it can be found that the vaginal mucosa has atrophied and thinned, and scattered bleeding spots and surface ulcers can be seen on the vaginal mucosa.

5. Endometritis

The main clinical manifestations are increased leucorrhea and a small amount of bleeding. The endometrium of postmenopausal women shrinks and becomes thinner due to the loss of the effect of estrogen, the surface epithelium flakes off, and the cervical endometrium becomes inflamed. If a gynecological examination is performed, an enlarged and tender uterus may be found, sometimes accompanied by fever.

6. Drug Abuse

As the use of estrogen replacement therapy by postmenopausal women increases, the proportion of endocrine postmenopausal bleeding caused by drug-induced sources has also increased. Regular consumption of pollen and nourishing tonics containing hormones may also cause vaginal bleeding.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has already understood the reasons for the appearance of brown vaginal discharge after menopause. Everyone should pay more attention and actively take preventive measures. If a similar situation occurs, you should take it seriously and go to a regular hospital for examination. After confirming the cause of the situation, you should actively carry out targeted treatment to prevent further deterioration of the condition.
