Brown discharge from menstruation

Under normal circumstances, women will have their periods at a fixed time every month. It is normal for menstruation to be advanced or delayed by about a week. If menstruation is delayed for more than a week and brown secretions appear, women should go to the hospital for examination in time, as this phenomenon may be a symptom of threatened abortion.

Brown discharge from menstruation

If you had sexual intercourse after your last menstruation without taking effective contraceptive measures, and your menstruation is now delayed, you should first consider pregnancy. If you have dark brown discharge in early pregnancy, it means there is a small amount of vaginal bleeding, so consider the possibility of threatened abortion or ectopic pregnancy. It is recommended that you take time to go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible. If you are not pregnant, consider irregular menstruation.

(3) Suffering from reproductive organ diseases such as uterine malformation, pelvic tumor, loose uterine os or laceration.

3. Immune factors: After the mother becomes pregnant, the mother rejects the fetus due to immune incompatibility between the mother and the fetus.

4. Endocrine dysfunction: mainly corpus luteum dysfunction and hypothyroidism in expectant mothers.
