Brown discharge two days before menstruation

Many female friends always feel abnormal reactions in their bodies before menstruation, or even abnormal leucorrhea. For example, they feel that their leucorrhea is brown. This is very bad, and they must find a way to treat it. Only in this way can they make their bodies healthier and avoid causing many unnecessary gynecological diseases.

1. Purulent leucorrhea

The color is yellow or yellow-green, mucus or foamy, and has a foul odor. It is mostly caused by vaginal inflammation, among which Trichomonas vaginitis is the most common, and is often accompanied by vulvar itching. It can also be seen in chronic cervicitis, senile vaginitis, endometritis, uterine effusion or foreign bodies in the vagina.

2. Cheese-like or tofu-like leucorrhea

Most of them are typical phenomena of candidal vaginitis, often accompanied by severe vulvar itching.

3. Bloody leucorrhea, leucorrhea mixed with blood

Be alert to the possibility of malignant tumors such as cervical cancer and endometrial cancer. However, benign lesions such as cervical polyps, cervical erosion, submucosal myoma, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, urethral caruncle, senile vaginitis, etc. can also cause bloody leucorrhea. A small amount of bloody leucorrhea caused by intrauterine contraceptive device is also common.

4. Yellow watery leucorrhea

It is mostly caused by necrosis of diseased tissue. If there is a large amount of purulent and foul-smelling vaginal discharge, advanced cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, or submucosal myoma with infection should be considered first. Those with paroxysmal discharge should be aware of the possibility of fallopian tube cancer.

5. Urinary dysfunction with increased leucorrhea

In typical gonococcal infection, the amount of leucorrhea and urethral secretions may increase and be yellow and purulent. The leucorrhea caused by chlamydia is less viscous and there is an increase in white serous cervical secretions.

6. Colorless, transparent, sticky leucorrhea

It is similar to egg white, or slightly turbid, but there are few other symptoms except increased vaginal discharge. It is more common before ovulation or after the use of estrogen, at which time the vaginal discharge can be seen to be long and thin.

7. Yellow mucous leucorrhea

It is seen in cervical erosion, chronic cervicitis, etc. It is caused by mild infection.

Whether the leucorrhea is normal should be judged by observing the quantity, color, texture and smell.

Normal leucorrhea should be milky white or colorless and transparent, with a slightly fishy smell or no smell; its secretion amount and texture are affected by the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body, and vary cyclically with the menstrual cycle, with varying amounts, textures and thicknesses.

Generally, the amount of leucorrhea is small after menstruation; before ovulation, the amount of leucorrhea increases, is thin, clear in color, and looks like egg white, which can be stretched into long threads; after ovulation, the leucorrhea becomes thick, milky white in color, has poor ductility, and is easy to break when stretched. In addition, there are also some physiological phenomena such as pregnancy and oral contraceptives, which can cause an increase in vaginal discharge. The cause is also related to changes in estrogen and progesterone levels in the body.

If the amount of vaginal discharge increases for no apparent reason, or is accompanied by changes in color, texture, or odor, you should be alert.
