Brown discharge after menstruation

Some netizens are very troubled by the brown discharge in the late menstrual period and worry whether they have gynecological diseases. When you encounter these problems, you need to stay calm and search for information. If you are really worried, go to the hospital as soon as possible. But I still have to tell you that, in fact, these brown secretions are normal manifestations of ovulation. Increased vaginal discharge and brown secretions during ovulation are normal physiological phenomena. Despite this, we still have to pay attention to hygiene and maintain good habits.

1. The vaginal wall is not fully expanded during first sexual intercourse or the sexual intercourse is too hasty or too violent, which can easily cause vaginal wall tearing. This situation is more common among young girls who have eaten the forbidden fruit. Generally speaking, a woman's vagina is elastic, has many vertical and horizontal folds, is easy to expand, and will not tear. The vagina of a young girl is not yet fully developed. If she is too nervous during her first sexual intercourse, her muscles will contract and she will use too much force, which can easily cause tearing.

2. Vaginal bleeding between two menstrual periods after the menstruation is over may be physiological or pathological. The most common of the former is vaginal bleeding during ovulation, which is characterized by mild lower abdominal pain and discomfort during a small amount of bleeding, and basal body temperature changes during ovulation. The latter is characterized by cervical erosion, polyps or cervical cancer, especially when it occurs frequently after sexual intercourse. This is because the contact and friction of the sexual organs cause damage and congestion to the affected area, resulting in blood exudation.

3. Menstruation does not come on time, and vaginal bleeding occurs 7-10 days later. At this time, it is necessary to distinguish whether the vaginal bleeding is caused by menstruation or disease. The former is similar to the regularity of previous menstruation. The latter has no such pattern, with the flow sometimes more and sometimes less, but constantly. If accompanied by abdominal pain, you should pay more attention, because this situation is more common in ectopic pregnancy or threatened abortion.

4. The amount of menstrual blood increases, lasts longer, and the dysmenorrhea is more obvious. This situation is more common in uterine fibroids or endometriosis.

5. If your menstruation was normal in the past but you have had continuous bleeding recently, this is mostly caused by illness and needs to be checked out in time. The most likely cause is uterine inflammation or cancer. If after a natural or artificial abortion, vaginal bleeding usually stops within 3-7 days, and normal menstruation resumes after one month. However, if the above-mentioned continuous vaginal bleeding occurs, it is likely that there is residual fetal membrane tissue in the uterus. If this is the case, it should be removed by curettage as soon as possible, otherwise the residual fetal membrane tissue may turn into choriocarcinoma after a period of time. In addition, it may also be caused by intrauterine infection or cervical injury, which can be easily diagnosed through further examination.

6. For women who have had hydatidiform mole and whose condition has improved after treatment and whose menstruation has returned to normal, if they experience abnormal, heavy vaginal bleeding again within two years, it may be an early symptom of malignant hydatidiform mole and diagnosis should not be delayed.

7. There are two possibilities for vaginal bleeding in menopausal women, especially after the age of 60. For some women who still have sex, due to the endocrine changes after menopause, the vagina is dry, which is easy to be damaged by friction and bleeding during sex. Therefore, if there is a feeling of dryness during intercourse, a small amount of ointment (such as tetracycline ointment) should be applied on the male glans before intercourse, which can reduce this mechanical damage and improve the sexual effect of both parties.
