Brown discharge from below

As people age, various aspects of their bodies change. Especially for women, gynecological diseases begin to occur when they reach a certain age. Brown vaginal discharge is one of the signs of gynecological diseases. During ovulation, blood cells will decrease significantly, and the amount of blood will also decrease, resulting in brown discharge. This will cause irregular menstruation, which may be advanced or delayed. Let us explain it to you in detail below.

1. Ovulation bleeding: The amount of bleeding is not much. Some people only have a small amount of brown secretion. It usually lasts for half a day or 2-3 days, and no more than 7 days at most. It may be accompanied by mild ovulation pain and back pain. If someone is measuring their basal body temperature, they will notice that this bleeding usually occurs during the transition from low body temperature to high body temperature. If the symptoms are mild, no treatment is required, but if the symptoms are obvious and may affect fertility, treatment should be given.

2. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding: usually irregular menstrual cycle, excessive menstrual flow, prolonged menstruation or irregular bleeding

Experts point out that abnormal leucorrhea must not be taken lightly. If it is not treated in time and not eradicated, serious sequelae may occur, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, etc. In severe cases, terminal illnesses such as vaginal cancer, uterine cancer, and cervical cancer may occur. Most middle-aged women who suffer from cancer do so because they did not pay attention to abnormal leucorrhea when they were young, which caused the disease to worsen.

3. Generally speaking, pathological leucorrhea is mostly inflammatory leucorrhea, leucorrhea caused by tumors and leucorrhea caused by foreign bodies. The following pathological leucorrhea are common symptoms:

●Colorless, transparent, sticky leucorrhea: It is egg white-like and similar in properties to the mucus secreted by the cervical glands during ovulation, but the amount of secretion is significantly increased compared to usual. Generally, the possibility of chronic endocervicitis, ovarian dysfunction, vaginal adenosis, or well-differentiated cervical adenocarcinoma should be considered.

●White or grayish yellow foamy leucorrhea: It is a characteristic of Trichomonas vaginitis and may be accompanied by vulvar itching.

●Curly vaginal discharge: a characteristic of candidal vaginitis, often accompanied by severe vulvar itching or burning pain.

●Gray homogeneous leucorrhea with fishy smell: thin, small to large amount, unpleasant smell, commonly seen in bacterial vaginosis.

●Purinary leucorrhea: yellow or yellow-green, sticky, and often has a foul odor. It can be caused by acute vaginitis, cervicitis, and endocervicitis caused by bacteria such as Trichomonas or gonococci. Pyometra, cervical cancer, vaginal cancer or foreign objects retained in the vagina can also cause pus-like leucorrhea.

●Bloody leucorrhea: If there is blood mixed in the leucorrhea, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, cervical polyps or submucosal fibroids should be considered. Insertion of an intrauterine device can also cause bloody leucorrhea.
