Why is the discharge brown?

In life, women often find that their vaginal secretions are brown. At this time, they can't help but feel worried, fearing that they have gynecological diseases, because vaginal secretions reflect the health of the female reproductive system. So, why does the secretion appear brown? In response to this issue, I have summarized the following points, hoping to help everyone solve their doubts. Let’s take a look at the following content to find out.

Coffee-colored discharge is a sign of abnormal vaginal discharge. The characteristics and composition of vaginal discharge are organic and cellular products from five parts of the female reproductive tract: fallopian tubes, endometrium, cervix, vagina, and perineal glands. Abnormal leucorrhea is caused by different inflammations of the female genitals, local foreign body stimulation, or endocrine disorders caused by certain chronic diseases, which can cause abnormal changes in the amount, color, and viscosity of leucorrhea.

If the leucorrhea contains other colors, such as blue, red, yellow, white, black, coffee, etc., the amount of leucorrhea is too much or it is thick like pus, or thin like water, or there is a foul odor, itching, burning pain in the genitals, as well as back pain, weak legs, lower abdominal distension and other pathological conditions, then Chinese medicine refers to it as "leucorrhea disease".

The phenomenon of brown vaginal discharge indicates that women are too nervous. This is also a common phenomenon during menstruation. If brown discharge appears in the middle of the menstrual cycle, it is considered to be related to ovulation bleeding. If there are any discomfort symptoms, no treatment is necessary. If the bleeding is not during ovulation, it is considered to be related to gynecological inflammation. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination, check the site of inflammation and give symptomatic treatment.

It is best to wear loose and breathable clothes, and avoid tight pants, jeans and other clothes. In addition, underwear should preferably be made of cotton and dried in the sun after washing. It is advisable to use sterilized cotton pads during menstruation, and special attention should be paid to avoid bacterial infection. Bathroom facilities must be kept clean and avoid being shared by multiple people to reduce the chance of infection. In terms of diet, you must be careful to avoid spicy and irritating foods. You can moderately consume lactic acid beverages, such as yogurt, which is beneficial to maintaining the acidic environment of the vagina. Usually try to take as few medications as possible to avoid disrupting the normal balance of vaginal flora.

There are many factors that lead to this phenomenon, which female friends should pay attention to. Normal leucorrhea should be transparent, gelatinous or slightly yellow paste, but rarely brown. Clinically, a small number of women have brown leucorrhea which is a normal endocrine reaction. But most of them are manifestations of gynecological diseases. Clinically, many of them are actually manifestations of bloody leucorrhea, but this blood is often old, so it appears brown.

The above article is an explanation to the question of "Why is the secretion brown?" I hope it will be helpful to you. Therefore, if female friends find that their leucorrhea is abnormal, they must take it seriously and go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid the occurrence of other diseases.
