Pathological analysis

Experts point out that if abnormal leucorrhea is not treated promptly and not eradicated, it is likely to cause pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, etc. In severe cases, incurable diseases such as vaginal cancer, uterine cancer, and cervical cancer may occur. Most of the middle-aged women who have cancer are because they did not pay enough attention to abnormal leucorrhea when they were young, which led to the continuous aggravation of the disease.

There are three main reasons for dark brown discharge: ovulation bleeding. Some women will bleed a small amount during ovulation, which is a completely normal physiological phenomenon and there is no need to worry too much. In addition, the brown leucorrhea caused by ovulation bleeding has no odor, which is different from the brown leucorrhea caused by gynecological diseases. You can also see how long it lasts. If it only lasts for a few days and then recovers, it is very likely that the brown leucorrhea is caused by this reason; gynecological inflammation. Gynecological inflammation can also cause women's leucorrhea to be brown, the most common of which is vaginitis. There are many types of vaginitis, and different types of vaginitis have different manifestations in secretions. In the case of brown leucorrhea, blood cells can be taken for immediate treatment; cervical diseases can also cause women to have dark brown discharge. Cervical diseases are various diseases that occur in the entire cervical area, including chronic cervicitis, cervical cysts, cervical cancer, etc. Cervical erosion can also cause brown vaginal discharge.

The appearance of gray-black or brown secretions in the vagina is due to a small amount of bleeding. When the amount of blood is small, it will appear dark brown or gray-black.

Common reasons include:

1. During ovulation, because the body's estrogen level drops temporarily, the uterine wall loses the support of hormones, causing part of it to fall off, resulting in ovulation bleeding, which may be manifested as a small amount of gray-black secretions in the vagina during ovulation.

2. Gray-black or brown secretions may occur in the vagina in the following gynecological diseases, such as cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, cervical cysts, cervical columnar epithelial cell disorder and infection, uterine cervical myoma, etc.

3. Within half a year after the IUD is placed, a small number of women may experience brown or black vaginal discharge.

Because there are many reasons for dark brown vaginal discharge, it is recommended that you go to the local hospital outpatient gynecology department for relevant examinations to determine the cause and adopt targeted treatment.
