Why is there brown discharge after menstruation?

Many women become worried when they discover brown discharge after menstruation, but there is actually no need to worry. It is generally a physiological phenomenon for women. Below, the editor will explain the specific manifestations and causes in detail. Let’s take a look!

The main reason for this situation is that menstrual blood comes from the shedding of the endometrium. After shedding, a new layer of endometrium will grow again. If you have sex during this period, this kind of menstruation will occur. It is generally recommended to wait two to three days after menstruation before having sex to prevent the endometrium from growing. Although it is normal, you should also pay attention to protecting your body.

Experts point out that under normal circumstances, brown discharge after menstruation is a sign that the menstruation is not completely over. Brown discharge 2-3 days after menstruation is a sign of menstrual blood returning, which is a normal symptom after menstruation. Brown discharge after menstruation is caused by blood remaining in the reproductive tract for too long. If you don't experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, yellow leucorrhea, or an odor, there's no need to worry too much. You can usually use warm water to clean the vulva to keep the area dry and clean to prevent infection. However, in order to prevent the possibility of gynecological diseases, such as cervical disease, vaginal disease, etc., you should go to the hospital for relevant gynecological examinations and treatments in time and do not be careless.

Generally speaking, there are several reasons for brown discharge after menstruation:

1. Poor menstrual blood flow and congestion: Black blood after menstruation may be caused by the small amount of bleeding in the late period, poor menstrual blood discharge, and long congestion in the uterus.

2. Menstruation is not over yet: it means that the menstruation has not ended yet, but the amount of menstrual flow is less and mixed with leucorrhea to appear brown. This situation is a normal physiological phenomenon.

3. Gynecological diseases: Cervical erosion, uterine fibroids and endometritis can also cause the appearance of brown secretions. It is recommended that women go to the hospital for a gynecological examination at this time.

4. Luteal insufficiency: Luteal insufficiency is not enough to support the full development of the secretory endometrium, followed by luteal atrophy insufficiency.

If you are still worried about your health, remember to go to the hospital for medical consultation. This is a normal phenomenon, a phenomenon of menstruation returning. Generally, if you do strenuous exercise after your period ends, your period will return in about two or three days, and there will be a small amount of blood. So don't worry too much about it, just do what you should do.
