Brown discharge after menstruation

By observing menstruation, women can also effectively infer whether they have gynecological diseases inside their bodies. Because menstruation is the shedding of the endometrium, if menstruation is abnormal, it indicates that there is some abnormality in the woman's uterus or vagina. When women have their period, the color of their menstrual discharge should be bright red. However, many women find brown discharge in their lower body after their period. What is the reason?

What causes brown discharge after menstruation?

Brown vaginal discharge after menstruation usually occurs within 7 days after menstruation. Brown vaginal discharge after menstruation is also called mid-menstrual bleeding, which usually refers to a small amount of bleeding between two normal menstrual periods, which may be accompanied by varying degrees of lower abdominal pain. It is a physiological brown vaginal discharge after menstruation. If the symptoms are mild, no treatment is required. If you find heavy bleeding or long-term infertility, it is best to go to the hospital for examination and symptomatic treatment. Brown vaginal discharge after menstruation may also be pathological, which is mostly caused by cervical diseases, such as endometrial cancer, cervical polyps, cervical erosion, etc. Gynecological inflammation such as vaginitis may also cause brown vaginal discharge after menstruation. If the brown color of leucorrhea after pathological menstruation cannot be restored on its own, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a leucorrhea examination to determine the cause. If a woman is of childbearing age and has a normal sexual life, and bleeding occurs after her menstruation ends, she should consider whether it is related to pregnancy, such as miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, hydatidiform mole, etc. Vaginal bleeding and increased leucorrhea are common in uterine tumors. Consider whether it is advanced cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, or submucosal uterine fibroids with infection.

What are the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease?

Pelvic inflammatory disease can be divided into two categories: acute and chronic. Let's take a look at the specific symptoms of each: 1. The symptoms of acute pelvic inflammation are lower abdominal pain, fever, increased vaginal discharge, and persistent abdominal pain that worsens after activity or sexual intercourse. If the condition is severe, there may be chills, high fever, headache, and loss of appetite. Those who develop the disease during menstruation may experience increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstrual period. If pelvic inflammatory disease forms a pelvic abscess, it may cause local compression symptoms. Compression of the bladder may cause frequent urination, painful urination, and difficulty urinating; compression of the rectum may cause frequent urge to defecate and a feeling of incomplete defecation after defecation, as well as symptoms of diarrhea or constipation. Further development of acute pelvic inflammatory disease can cause diffuse peritonitis, sepsis, septic shock, and in severe cases can be life-threatening.

2. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is caused by the failure to thoroughly treat acute pelvic inflammatory disease or the patient's poor physical condition and prolonged course of the disease. The symptoms of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease are lower abdominal distension, pain and soreness in the lumbar region, which are often aggravated by fatigue, after sexual intercourse, and before and after menstruation. The second is abnormal menstruation and irregular menstruation. When the disease lasts for a long time, some women may experience symptoms of neurasthenia such as lack of energy, general discomfort, and insomnia. It often takes a long time to heal and recurs repeatedly, leading to infertility and fallopian tube pregnancy, seriously affecting women's health.
