What is the reason for the brown menstrual period?

Women's menstruation and leucorrhea can be said to be the barometer of physical health. Generally, if menstruation and leucorrhea are normal, there will be no gynecological diseases. However, if menstruation and leucorrhea appear abnormal, it means that there is something wrong with your body. Especially when the menstrual blood is brown, you must pay attention. So, what is the reason for the brown color of menstruation?

Generally, when women have brown menstrual blood, it is accompanied by abnormal menstrual volume, and even changes in color and texture. When this happens, it is usually caused by irregular menstruation. If you want to solve it, it is best to go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis. So, what is the reason for women's menstrual flow to be less and brown?

Under normal circumstances, a woman's normal menstrual volume is about 20-60 ml. If it is less than 20 ml, it is considered too little menstrual volume. Of course, the amount of menstrual volume varies from person to person. It is normal for a woman to change sanitary napkins or paper 3 to 5 times a day. The normal menstrual period is about 3 to 7 days, and the average amount of blood loss during menstruation is 60 ml.

Women's menstrual volume can be affected by endocrine factors, which can lead to abnormal secretion of various hormones or anovulation. In addition, it is likely due to the endometrium itself, such as abortion, or uterine surgery causing the endometrium to be thin, resulting in too little menstrual flow.

Normal menstrual blood for women is dark red and slightly sticky. The reasons for changes in menstrual color may be excessive mental stress, the influence of external factors, endocrine disorders, long-term use of contraceptives, gynecological diseases, etc. In addition, if a woman has a small amount of brown menstrual flow, it is mostly caused by uterine cold. If the menstrual blood is dark in color, it is a sign of qi stagnation and blood stasis. If it is accompanied by cold hands and feet and sallow complexion, it is a manifestation of uterine cold.

Now that you know what brown menstruation means, whether or not you have experienced a similar situation before, you must always pay attention to whether your menstruation is normal. It is also recommended that if your menstruation is not normal, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to avoid adverse effects on future fertility. If you then seek treatment, it may be more difficult.
