What causes brown vaginal discharge a week after period?

Recently, many female friends have reported that they had abnormal leucorrhea one week after their menstruation, and the color of the leucorrhea was brown. At this time, the menstruation has ended, the ovulation period has not yet arrived, and there is still a long time before the next menstruation. So why is the leucorrhea brown and seems to contain blood? Let me tell you the reason below.

Normal leucorrhea is colorless, transparent, and odorless. If it is not during menstruation, the leucorrhea is brown, then this situation is abnormal. There are many reasons for this situation, and each person's physical condition is different, and the reasons will also be different:

First of all, some women have symptoms of blood stasis, which is caused by incomplete menstruation. If they have strenuous exercise or sexual intercourse one week after menstruation, it may cause brown vaginal discharge. Also, after all, everyone's physical condition is different, and ovulation bleeding cannot be ruled out. Ovulation bleeding is regular vaginal bleeding caused by a temporary drop in estrogen levels during ovulation, which causes the endometrium to lose hormonal support and partial shedding of the endometrium. This temporary low estrogen level during ovulation is a normal endocrine characteristic of the human body. Generally, this condition does not require treatment. If the amount of bleeding is large, you can follow the doctor's advice to supplement estrogen appropriately.

Secondly, it is caused by various gynecological inflammations, including vaginitis, cervicitis, endometritis, adnexitis and other inflammations. Of course, if the inflammation is more serious, such as cervical erosion, uterine fibroids, or even cervical cancer, the vaginal discharge may be brown. In addition, this is also one of the phenomena of irregular vaginal bleeding. Generally, bleeding is common in local cervical mucosal bleeding and intrauterine bleeding.

Finally, endocrine disorders, previous abortions, or endometrial adhesions are also possible factors. In addition, improper sexual behavior, such as the man's overly rough movements during sex, which causes damage to the vaginal wall, is also one of the reasons for brown vaginal discharge.

The reasons why leucorrhea is brown are basically the ones introduced above. No matter what the cause is, the symptoms of abnormal leucorrhea should not be underestimated. Once this symptom occurs, the best way is to go to the hospital's gynecology department for an examination. If there is a disease, treat it. If not, you can be more at ease. Don't wait until a more serious situation occurs and then regret it.
