Dark brown discharge during early pregnancy

There will be some dark brown secretions in the early stages of pregnancy. These are all normal phenomena, so don’t worry. Some people worry about whether they may have miscarriage, but in fact, this is caused by menstruation. Eat some nutritional supplements to regulate your body. In another case, you should consider ectopic pregnancy, which is more serious and you should go to the hospital to take measures and treatment in time. The following is a detailed introduction for your reference.

1. Stimulate menstruation

Some female friends found out that they were pregnant, but they also had brown discharge and thought it was menstruation. In fact, this is stimulated menstruation. It is harmless to the health of pregnant women and fetuses and usually occurs within three months of pregnancy.

2. Biochemical pregnancy

Biochemical pregnancy is called subclinical miscarriage or hidden miscarriage, which is mainly caused by the failure of the fertilized egg to implant. The characteristic of biochemical pregnancy is that the HCG value is relatively high, and the urine test with early pregnancy test paper will also be positive, but the gestational sac cannot be detected by B-ultrasound. At the same time, brown secretions will appear, and normal menstruation will come afterwards.

3. Cervical disease

The appearance of brown discharge in early pregnancy is also related to cervical disease. For example, if brown discharge appears after sexual intercourse, it is basically related to cervical erosion. In addition to cervical erosion, cervical polyps can also cause brown discharge.

4. Ectopic pregnancy

If the fertilized egg does not implant in the uterine cavity but pregnancy occurs, after excluding biochemical pregnancy, it will be diagnosed as an ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy is characterized by brown discharge and abdominal pain that continues to get worse. Ectopic pregnancy needs to be treated promptly, otherwise it will cause great harm.

If brown discharge occurs after pregnancy, it must be taken seriously. It is best to go to a regular hospital for diagnosis in time. After finding the cause, effective measures should be taken for treatment to avoid causing more serious harm to women's health.
