Brown discharge during pregnancy

What should I do if I have brown discharge during the second trimester of pregnancy? Regarding this issue, relevant personnel stated that when pregnant women have brown discharge, it is usually during the threatened abortion stage, with less vaginal bleeding and mild abdominal pain. If there is no abnormality in the development of the fetus, the bleeding will stop after tocolysis treatment.

What to do if you have brown discharge during pregnancy

It is okay if the blood is dark brown in the second trimester of pregnancy, but you must not be tired, stay in bed, and eat some fish maw, which has the effect of activating blood circulation.

If you find brown secretions in the second trimester of pregnancy, pregnant women should do the following:

1. Pay attention to the amount and characteristics of bleeding: Observe the vaginal discharge at any time to see if there is any tissue discharged. It is best to save the excrement for doctor's observation. If bleeding increases, seek medical attention immediately.

2. Pay attention to abdominal pain: If pregnant women experience back pain and lower abdominal pain that does not improve after rest or even worsens, they need to be alert. If the lower abdominal pain worsens, is accompanied by vaginal bleeding, and has tissue-like discharge, you should report it to your doctor immediately.

3. Ensure adequate rest: Pregnant women should rest in bed more and reduce activity, but this does not mean they should stay in bed for 24 hours without moving. They should carry out moderate and light exercise. It is imperative to strictly prohibit sexual intercourse and try to avoid unnecessary vaginal examinations to reduce irritation to the uterus. In addition, breast stimulation should also be avoided, because breast stimulation can also cause uterine contraction and lead to threatened abortion.

Brown discharge during pregnancy

1. Threatened abortion: The specific manifestations are pregnancy bleeding and abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy. Generally, during the threatened abortion stage, vaginal bleeding is less and abdominal pain is mild. As long as there is no abnormality in the development of the embryo, the bleeding will stop after tocolysis treatment and you will be able to become pregnant again.

2. Vaginal yeast infection: This type of infection can easily lead to excessive vaginal discharge, accompanied by a foul odor, and itching of the private parts. It is widely believed that this type of infection is a type of sexually transmitted disease, which can easily be transmitted between sexual partners. During treatment, it is necessary to treat the sexual partners at the same time to avoid cross-infection and achieve complete recovery.

3. Ectopic pregnancy: Vaginal bleeding usually occurs about 40 days after amenorrhea, often accompanied by dull pain, distension, and heaviness in the lower abdomen. At this time, a urine pregnancy test may be positive, but color ultrasound examination of the uterine cavity will not reveal the gestational sac, and abnormal lumps may usually be found in the location of the fallopian tubes on both sides.

4. It may be a manifestation of a small amount of menstrual period during pregnancy: you should stay in bed and rest more, do not do obvious activities, and it is best not to get out of bed except to urinate. Generally, this situation will disappear in about 2 days. In addition, in order to avoid vaginal bleeding during pregnancy caused by gynecological diseases, it is recommended to go to the hospital to understand the cause.

5. Cervical diseases in pregnant women: Pregnant women who are preparing to become pregnant and suffer from cervical erosion, cervical cysts and other diseases may also experience brown secretions.
