It's not the menstrual period.

When women have their period, the amount of bleeding is relatively heavy, so it is inevitable that blood will get on their underwear, leaving brown marks on the underwear. However, some women find that they do not have their period, but brown blood stains still appear on their underwear. If the amount of bleeding is not large and the frequency is not high, it is relatively normal, but it may also be caused by a disease. So, why is the underwear brown when it’s not the menstrual period?

1. What is the reason for brown discharge from underwear when it is not menstrual period?

It is considered to be a symptom caused by ovulation bleeding. Some women have a small amount of vaginal bleeding between two normal menstrual cycles. This is ovulation bleeding. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and there is no need to worry. It is recommended that you pay attention to rest, relax, and keep the perineum clean.

2. Can I have sex during ovulation bleeding?

When a woman bleeds during ovulation, the pelvic cavity becomes congested, the cervix becomes loose, and the resistance of the reproductive organs is weakened. If having sex during this period, the man can easily bring bacteria into the woman's vagina, thereby destroying the normal acidic environment of the woman's vagina, causing dysbacteriosis, and leading to gynecological infections such as candidal vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, etc. Vaginitis is a very difficult gynecological disease that is prone to recurrence, so for the sake of health, it is best not to have sex during ovulation bleeding.

3. Is bleeding during ovulation normal?

Ovulation is one of the important physiological periods for women. Some women will experience bleeding during ovulation and become very worried and anxious. Is ovulation bleeding normal? Is the anxiety of these female friends necessary? The criteria for judging whether ovulation bleeding is normal or not are the amount of blood discharged and other accompanying symptoms. Ovulation bleeding is mainly caused by withdrawal bleeding due to the decrease of estrogen. Under normal circumstances, this bleeding is very short, about 1 to 2 hours, and red blood cells can only be seen in the leucorrhea with the help of a microscope. There is no bleeding that can be seen with the naked eye. This is not a pathological phenomenon and is normal.

4. What to do if you have ovulation bleeding

Ovulation bleeding generally lasts for 2-3 days, which is something every woman may experience, so don't worry. If it is clean within 2-3 days, there is no problem. However, if the leucorrhea is accompanied by blood and the amount of bleeding is heavy after more than 7 days, it needs to be taken seriously and timely treatment is required if necessary.
