Brown discharge from lower body

Many women have the problem of brown discharge from their lower body. The causes of this problem are both physiological and pathological. For example, ovulation bleeding is a common physiological cause, while threatened abortion, gynecological tumors, cold during menstruation, and gynecological inflammation are more common pathological elements. For brown discharge from the lower body caused by disease, it is necessary to check and treat it in time!

1. Ovulation bleeding

In the middle of two menstrual periods, that is, the ovulation period, after the follicle matures and ovulates, the estrogen level will drop and cannot maintain the growth of the endometrium. As a result, the endometrium will partially fall off, causing a small amount of vaginal bleeding, which is medically called ovulation bleeding. Generally, the amount of bleeding is small, and only a small amount of dark brown or coffee-colored secretions can be seen on the underwear. It lasts for 2-3 days and no more than 7 days.

2. Be alert to threatened abortion

If you have had sex recently and found some blood stains or brown or pink secretions on your underwear, you can use morning urine and a pregnancy test stick the next morning to test whether you are pregnant (implantation bleeding). If you are a known pregnant female friend, you should be alert to the signs of threatened abortion. The cause may be insufficient progesterone after pregnancy. Bleeding may be accompanied by abdominal pain. At this time, you should see a doctor as soon as possible to avoid affecting the health of mother and baby.

3. Gynecological tumors

Uterine tumors and certain ovarian tumors can cause abnormal vaginal bleeding, manifested as menorrhagia, irregular menstruation or irregular bleeding. Bleeding caused by cervical cancer and uterine body cancer is mostly irregular, while bleeding caused by benign uterine fibroids is both regular and irregular, usually with an increase in menstrual flow. If vaginal bleeding occurs after menopause (commonly known as inverted bleeding), especially when the amount is the same as menstruation, you need to be alert to malignant tumors.

4. Cold during menstruation

I believe every woman knows that she needs to take measures to keep warm during menstruation, and also avoid eating raw, cold and cool foods. However, some women are careless, especially in summer, such as staying in air-conditioned rooms for a long time and drinking cold drinks. This causes the body to catch cold, which in turn affects the smooth discharge of menstrual blood, causing it to remain in the uterine cavity. When the menstrual blood is discharged after a period of time, it will indeed appear brown or black in color.

5. Gynecological inflammation

If brown discharge occurs outside of menstruation, you need to consider whether it is caused by gynecological inflammation. If there are also symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge and lower abdominal distension and discomfort, you need to pay attention to it.
