What is the cause of brown discharge from the lower body?

When women go to the hospital to check for gynecological diseases, most doctors will ask patients to undergo a leucorrhea sampling test first. This is mainly because the secretion of leucorrhea can be used to analyze whether the female lower body is infected with bacteria. Normal leucorrhea is a milky white viscous substance, and the amount of leucorrhea will increase during ovulation. This is a very normal phenomenon, but some women have brown secretions in their lower body. What's going on?

Brown discharge from a woman's vagina is an abnormal leucorrhea. Gynecological diseases that cause brown leucorrhea often include vaginitis and cervicitis. Irregular menstruation is a precursor to many gynecological diseases. It is best to go to the hospital for a routine leucorrhea examination to avoid delaying the best treatment time. Normally, normal leucorrhea is transparent and odorless. If your leucorrhea is brown and sticky, it is usually a manifestation of gynecological inflammation, which may be caused by vaginitis or cervicitis. It is recommended to do a routine leucorrhea examination.

1. Vaginal cleanliness can be divided into 4 levels: Grades I to II are normal, and grades III to IV are abnormal leucorrhea, indicating vaginal inflammation.

2. Fungi and Trichomonas: After the leucorrhea is processed, its appearance can be used to detect the presence of Trichomonas or fungi under a microscope.

4. Clue cells: Clue cells refer to the presence of many bacilli aggregated at the edge of the vaginal epithelial cells in patients with bacterial vaginosis. In the hanging drop smear, the edges of the vaginal epithelial cells are granular or stippled, making them blurry. These are clue cells. They are the most sensitive and specific sign of bacterial vaginitis. Clinical doctors can make a diagnosis of bacterial vaginitis based on a positive amine test and the presence of clue cells.

5. pH value: After puberty, due to the stimulation of ovarian sex hormones, the mucosal epithelial cells are rich in animal starch, which is converted into lactic acid after being decomposed by vaginal lactobacilli. As a result, the secretions in the vagina are weakly acidic, which can prevent pathogens from multiplying in the vagina. This is the self-cleaning function of the vagina.
