What causes brown discharge after period?

Many female friends have brown discharge after menstruation. This is also a problem that we are puzzled about. We are afraid that we may have gynecological diseases. So, what exactly is going on with brown discharge after menstruation? Take a look at the article below and let’s find out.

Generally speaking, leucorrhea after menstruation is odorless and the amount is not large. It varies depending on the person's stage of the menstrual cycle. During the ovulation period, the secretion of cervical endometrial glandular cells is vigorous, so the amount of leucorrhea increases, which is very similar to thin and transparent egg white. When the cervical mucus is pulled with two fingers, it can be stretched to several centimeters without breaking, and it has very good elasticity. This phenomenon cannot be observed in the second half of the menstrual period. 2-3 days before and after the menstrual period, due to pelvic congestion, vaginal secretions increase, leucorrhea is also more, sometimes slightly bloody, and when the corpus luteum is insufficient, there will be brown secretions after menstruation.

In fact, a small amount of brown discharge after menstruation is related to incomplete menstruation, drug effects, uterine diseases, gynecological inflammation, ovarian diseases, environmental factors, neurological factors, and endocrine disorders.

Female endocrine disorders can cause uncomfortable changes in the body and also lead to many diseases. If you have irregular menstruation, abnormal leucorrhea, functional uterine bleeding, etc., it is recommended to check in time when the above conditions occur.

Dark brown discharge after menstruation may be due to the small amount of bleeding at this time, and cervical erosion may also be the cause of this situation. If the brown discharge after menstruation is intermittent, this may be due to luteal insufficiency. Luteal insufficiency means that the corpus luteum secretes insufficient progesterone to support the full development of the endometrium during the secretory phase. There are also other problems such as luteal atrophy, endometrial inflammation, polyps, etc.
