How to treat brown leucorrhea

Generally speaking, the color of leucorrhea is colorless, transparent or milky white, which is normal. However, in daily life, many women find that their leucorrhea is brown or even black. At this time, they should consider that they have a gynecological disease. Only by identifying the cause can they better treat it. So, how to treat brown leucorrhea? Let’s take a closer look below.

If the vaginal discharge is brown in color and has no odor, you should be alert to acute vaginitis. Vaginitis is the most common inflammation of the female reproductive organs and can occur at all ages. The clinical manifestations of acute vaginitis include increased vaginal discharge, frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating. There are varying degrees of itching, burning, or pain in the vulva, and fever in the acute phase.

If the vaginal discharge is brown in color and has no odor, you should be alert to cervical erosion. Cervical erosion is one of the local characteristics of chronic cervicitis and is also the most common gynecological disease.

If women do not pay attention to sexual hygiene, they can directly bring bacteria into the vagina, infect the cervix, and cause cervical erosion. The clinical manifestations are often increased and sticky vaginal discharge, and occasionally purulent or bloody vaginal discharge may also appear. Low back pain, abdominal pain, and a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen are also often accompanied. Contact bleeding may also occur during sexual intercourse, and the appearance of odor is also very likely.

If the vaginal discharge is brown in color and has no odor, you should be alert to cervical polyps. Cervical polyps are more common in married women.

The clinical manifestations of women with cervical dysentery are a small amount of bright red spotting, or a small amount of bleeding after sexual intercourse, which is sometimes mistaken for "menstruation". The amount of bleeding in a few people may be similar to menstruation. Some patients may have yellow leucorrhea at ordinary times, most of them have an odor, or the leucorrhea contains blood, and it can also manifest as postmenopausal vaginal bleeding.

How does traditional Chinese medicine view leucorrhea? It is naturally different from Western medicine. In traditional Chinese medicine, abnormal leucorrhea is considered "leucorrhea disease." In addition to certain inflammations causing abnormal leucorrhea, too much work pressure and lack of rest can also cause increased leucorrhea and color changes. If your leucorrhea is brown, you might want to try the following Chinese medicine prescription.
