Lower abdominal pain with brown vaginal discharge

In life, many women suffer from gynecological diseases. The most obvious clinical manifestation of gynecological diseases is abnormal vaginal discharge. When the vaginal discharge is abnormal, the discharge volume is not large, and it will turn brown or black. Because our normal vaginal discharge is milky white or transparent, when there is inflammation in the body, its color will become darker. So what is the matter with the lower abdominal pain and brown vaginal discharge?

Brown vaginal discharge causes abdominal pain

Under normal circumstances, leucorrhea is egg white-like or white paste-like, has no fishy smell and is in small amount. If the leucorrhea contains other colors, such as blue, red, yellow, white, black, etc., the amount of leucorrhea is too much or it is thick like pus, or thin like water, or there is a foul odor, itching, burning pain in the genitals, as well as low back pain, weak legs, lower abdominal distension and other pathological conditions, then Chinese medicine refers to it as "leucorrhea disease". From the perspective of Western medicine, cervicitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, candidal vaginitis and senile vaginitis are the most common clinical diseases.

If the amount of leucorrhea is not much, the color is milky white or egg white-like, and it has a slightly fishy smell, but there is no discomfort, then it is physiological leucorrhea. If the leucorrhea is excessive and becomes yellow, purulent, or even bloody, it is pathological.

In short, there are many causes of pathological leucorrhea, most of which are inflammation, and severe cases may also be malignant tumors. Therefore, pathological leucorrhea should be examined in detail and treated promptly after diagnosis.

What to do if the leucorrhea is brown and the lower abdomen is bloated and painful

Excessive use of cleaning fluid: If women frequently flush the vagina, especially with cleaning fluid, the number of lactobacilli will decrease, which will disrupt the microecological balance in the vagina and cause dysbacteriosis. Because the female vagina has a self-cleaning function, the female vaginal epithelial cells are rich in glycogen. The vagina of normal women is parasitic with a kind of bacteria called vaginal lactobacillus, which can break down these glycogen into monosaccharides and then into lactic acid, making the vaginal environment acidic and maintaining the pH value at 4-5. Those pathogens that grow well in alkaline environments will be inhibited, which is the self-cleaning function of the vagina.

2. Long-term use of sanitary pads: Long-term use of sanitary pads, which are not breathable, often keeps the vulva in a moist state due to excessive vaginal discharge, which has a certain irritation to the local skin. It destroys the balance of the vagina and easily causes infection.

3. Not paying attention to hygiene and not changing underwear frequently: Women should change their underwear once a day, pay attention to personal hygiene, and it is best to put the changed underwear in the sun to dry.

If the leucorrhea contains other colors, such as blue, red, yellow, white, black, etc., the amount of leucorrhea is too much or it is thick like pus, or thin like water, or there is a foul odor, itching, burning pain in the genitals, as well as low back pain, weak legs, lower abdominal distension and other pathological conditions, then Chinese medicine refers to it as "leucorrhea disease".

When you suffer from "leucorrhea", you cannot simply consider vaginal diseases. In addition to vaginitis, other diseases such as cervicitis, pelvic inflammation, cervical cancer, uterine fibroids, uterine adenocarcinoma, vaginal foreign bodies, etc. can all cause different types of "leucorrhea". However, from the perspective of Western medicine, cervicitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, and senile vaginitis are more common clinically.

If the amount of leucorrhea is not much, the color is milky white or egg white-like, and it has a slightly fishy smell, but there is no discomfort, then it is physiological leucorrhea. If the leucorrhea is excessive and becomes yellow, purulent, or even bloody, it is pathological. If the leucorrhea is grayish yellow, foamy, and has a fishy smell, and is accompanied by vulvar itching, burning, pain and sexual intercourse pain, it is mostly trichomoniasis vaginitis; if the leucorrhea is grayish white, like tofu dregs or like curd, and sometimes has a bad smell and is accompanied by vulvar itching and burning pain, it is mostly candidal vaginitis; if the leucorrhea is yellow and yellow-green, has a bad smell, like rice soup or pus, it is mostly caused by purulent bacterial infection, such as chronic cervicitis, vaginitis in the elderly and endometritis; if there is blood in the leucorrhea, the so-called bloody leucorrhea is more common in severe cervical erosion, cervical polyps, submucosal myomas, and cervical cancer; watery leucorrhea, that is, leucorrhea like thin water, sometimes like rice soup, it is mostly caused by cervical cancer, uterine body cancer, fallopian tube cancer, etc. In short, there are many causes of pathological leucorrhea, most of which are inflammation, and some are malignant tumors. Therefore, pathological leucorrhea should be examined in detail and treated in time after diagnosis.
