Is brown blood in vaginal discharge normal?

Women who are more careful in life will find that women's leucorrhea will change with the changes in the body. If the leucorrhea after menstruation is brown, this is normal because the menstruation is not clean. Another situation is that the leucorrhea is bloody during ovulation, which is also a normal phenomenon. If it does not belong to the above situation, it means that there is a disease in the body. Let us introduce the reasons why leucorrhea is brown.

1. Precursors of cervical disease: Be alert to the possibility of malignant tumors such as cervical cancer and endometrial cancer. However, benign lesions such as cervical polyps, cervical erosion, submucosal myoma, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, urethral caruncle, senile vaginitis, etc. can also cause bloody leucorrhea, and a small amount of blood caused by intrauterine contraceptive device.

2. Brown vaginal discharge with blood after pregnancy: Many women will experience brown vaginal discharge with blood during pregnancy. You must not be careless at this time and should be alert to the possibility of threatened miscarriage. In addition, it cannot be ruled out that abnormal bleeding is caused by some gynecological diseases, such as cervicitis, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, cervical cancer, etc.

Although women's vaginal discharge generally increases during ovulation, especially during the reproductive period. However, if there is blood in the leucorrhea or it appears brown, it is considered abnormal leucorrhea and may be caused by some diseases. The presence of blood in the leucorrhea indicates bleeding in the female reproductive organs.

The first may be an infectious disease. Common ones include candidal vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, gonococcal infection, etc., which can usually be treated in time. Another cause is abnormal leucorrhea caused by cervical disease. The most common are cervical erosion and cervical polyps. In addition, diseases such as chronic endometritis and tuberculosis infection can also cause blood in leucorrhea. If not treated in time, it can also lead to uterine adhesions and fallopian tube obstruction. Therefore, if women find that their leucorrhea has the above abnormal conditions, they should seek medical attention in time.

Causes of abnormal vaginal discharge

The composition of normal leucorrhea is a mixture of vaginal mucosal exudates, cervical secretions and some endometrial secretions, and it has no odor. This is related to the estrogen level in the body and the degree of genital congestion. In addition to physiological reasons or physical deterioration that can easily lead to increased vaginal discharge, it can also be caused by infectious diseases, at which time abnormal vaginal discharge will occur. If there is something abnormal with the leucorrhea, such as an increase in volume, or a change in shape, odor, or color compared to usual, you should consider that it may be pathological leucorrhea. Active examination and treatment should be carried out to avoid affecting fertility. The causes of abnormal vaginal discharge are as follows:

1. Use a lot of cleaning fluid

If women frequently flush their vagina, especially with a vaginal wash, the number of lactobacilli will decrease, which will disrupt the microecological balance in the vagina and cause dysbacteriosis. Because the female vagina has a self-cleaning function, the female vaginal epithelial cells are rich in glycogen. The vagina of normal women is parasitic with a kind of bacteria called vaginal lactobacillus, which can break down these glycogen into monosaccharides and then into lactic acid, making the vaginal environment acidic and maintaining the pH value at 4-5. Those pathogens that grow well in alkaline environments will be inhibited, which is the self-cleaning function of the vagina.

2. Long-term use of sanitary pads

Long-term use of sanitary pads, which are not breathable, often keeps the vulva in a moist state due to excessive vaginal discharge, which has a certain irritation to the local skin. It destroys the balance of the vagina and easily causes infection.

3. Not paying attention to hygiene and not changing underwear frequently

Women should change their underwear once a day, pay attention to personal hygiene, and it is best to put the changed underwear in the sun to dry. Increased leucorrhea If abnormal leucorrhea is not treated in time and not eradicated, serious sequelae will occur, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis and other gynecological inflammations. In severe cases, terminal illnesses such as vaginal cancer, uterine cancer, and cervical cancer may occur. Many middle-aged women who get cancer are caused by not paying attention to abnormal leucorrhea when they were young. Moreover, if there is too little leucorrhea for a long time, the vagina's self-defense function will be weakened, making women more susceptible to vaginitis.
