What is the reason for brown vaginal discharge after sex?

Many women find that the color of their vaginal discharge is not as normal as before after marriage, and even have brown vaginal discharge after intercourse. Some women think that this is normal and do not find any problems caused by brown leucorrhea, so they do not go to the hospital for examination and just leave it at that. In fact, this is wrong. Abnormal leucorrhea color must be a sign of inflammation in the body. Let's take a look at what normal vaginal discharge should look like.

Generally speaking, under normal circumstances, the amount of leucorrhea is not much, it is white, sticky, and has no odor. It contains mucus secreted by the cervix, exudate from the vaginal mucosa, epidermal cells shed from the uterus and vagina, as well as a small amount of white blood cells and non-pathogenic vaginal bacilli. The following types of vaginitis can also cause abnormal leucorrhea: bacterial vaginitis leucorrhea is gray, homogeneous, and of low density, often evenly attached to the surface of the vaginal mucosa of the anterior or lateral wall of the vagina, easy to wipe off, and no obvious changes in the vaginal mucosa; Trichomonas vaginitis - the leucorrhea is yellow or even yellow-green, obviously purulent, and often foamy; candidiasis - the leucorrhea is white, highly viscous, and cheesy or tofu-like, attached to the vaginal wall, sometimes similar to white thrush-like patches, or there may be very little leucorrhea or it may be similar to normal leucorrhea, but the vaginal wall is white.

If the color of leucorrhea turns brown after sexual intercourse, it is very likely that you were infected with bacteria during sexual intercourse. For example, the man has a urinary tract infection or other problems, which were transmitted to the woman, causing inflammation in the woman, and the color of the leucorrhea turned brown or a darker color. Therefore, it is better for both sexual partners to go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
