Brown discharge during pregnancy

After a woman knows she is pregnant, she should pay special attention to her diet and actions, especially in the first three months, she should avoid strenuous exercise or overly strenuous work, because the fetus is still unstable at this time and the pregnant woman needs to protect it. Some women have a little brown discharge during pregnancy, but this is not normal and may even be a sign of threatened miscarriage, so you must pay attention to preserving the fetus.

1. Biochemical pregnancy: This means that the sperm and egg have combined, but have not implanted in the uterine cavity. This situation is called "hidden abortion." It refers to miscarriage that occurs within 5 weeks of pregnancy. Elevated HCG levels can be detected in the pregnant woman's blood, or a urine pregnancy test is positive, but the gestational sac cannot be seen during an ultrasound examination. This situation is also called "subclinical miscarriage." Generally, patients do not have any abnormal symptoms, just like menstruation.

2. Abnormal embryo development. In this case, it will lead to spontaneous abortion. Miscarriage is mostly caused by chromosomal abnormalities. Therefore, when a pregnant woman finds brown secretions, after excluding abnormal development or lesions of the genitals such as the cervix, she should let nature take its course and do not force the fetus to be preserved. Otherwise, problems cannot be ruled out in the later stages.

3. Cervical abnormalities. If a woman has cervical abnormalities, it may also cause brown secretions after pregnancy. For example, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, etc. may cause brown secretions. Therefore, if there are brown secretions in early pregnancy, you can go to the obstetrics and gynecology department to see if there is any problem with the cervix. Some women with abnormalities such as double uterus or rudimentary uterus may also experience brown discharge or bleeding in early pregnancy.

4. Endometrial shedding. Due to different physical conditions, some women's ovaries secrete relatively low levels of sex hormones after pregnancy, which can cause a small amount of endometrium to shedding, leading to menstruation after pregnancy, brown discharge or bleeding.

5. Ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy can also cause irregular vaginal bleeding. Generally speaking, the amount of bleeding is small. Some are just brown secretions, and some are dark red. There is continuous bleeding, and the amount will not exceed the amount of menstrual blood. This situation must be dealt with in time, otherwise it may endanger the life of the pregnant woman.

What is the reason for a little brown discharge during pregnancy? The factors introduced above cannot be ruled out. Therefore, when brown discharge occurs during pregnancy, you must pay attention to it and seek medical attention in time for timely diagnosis and treatment. Brown discharge during pregnancy is a precursor to bleeding, so it can often lead to miscarriage, so be vigilant.
