Is it normal to have brown discharge before your period?

Most women experience some discomfort in their bodies before their periods, such as being easily sensitive and irritable, and having abnormal secretions. Therefore, everyone is very concerned about when their period will come. Secretions are necessary secretions of the female body. Observing the symptoms of leucorrhea can also show our own physical condition. So, what causes brown discharge before menstruation?

1. A small amount of bleeding occurs before menstruation. This is because the corpus luteum function is insufficient or prematurely declines, resulting in insufficient estrogen, which cannot maintain the stability of the endometrium during menstruation. If it occurs repeatedly, it should be taken seriously. Under the guidance of a doctor, small doses of tested hormones can be used for regulation, or supplements can be used to improve corpus luteum function.

2. Dark brown secretion before menarche is caused by a small amount of uterine wall falling off, while dark brown secretion during menstruation is caused by blood remaining in the reproductive system for too long. If there are no symptoms such as abdominal pain, yellow leucorrhea, strong odor or vulvar itching, you can observe again without worrying too much.

3. You can usually wash the vulva with warm water to keep the area dry and clean to avoid infection.

4. Experts suggest that when brown discharge appears before menstruation, the first thing to consider is whether it is caused by cold or gynecological inflammation. First try taking Motherwort Paste or Wu Ji Bai Feng Pills internally, keep warm, and wait a few days to see how the condition develops. If this condition continues to occur, you need to go to the hospital for a physical examination.

How many days of menstruation are considered normal

The first day of bleeding (i.e. menstruation) is called the beginning of the menstrual cycle, and the time interval between the first days of two menstrual periods is called a menstrual cycle, which is generally 28 to 30 days, which is similar to the time of a lunar month. The length of the cycle varies from person to person. Occasionally, it can be early or late by no more than 7 days and can still be considered normal. That is, the menstrual cycle cannot be less than 21 days and cannot exceed 35 days. Menstruation will stop during pregnancy and lactation.

How many days does a woman's menstrual period usually last? The menstrual period refers to the duration of menstruation. Normal menstruation lasts 2 to 7 days, usually 4 to 5 days. Menstrual volume refers to the blood discharged during the menstrual period. It is difficult to make statistical analysis on the amount of menstruation. In clinical medicine, it is common to roughly estimate the amount by changing menstrual pads several times a day. Some people have measured that the average amount of menstrual blood is about 10 to 58 ml, and some women's menstrual blood volume can exceed 100 ml. Some people consider excessive blood loss of more than 80 ml per month to be a pathological condition. Generally, the heaviest bleeding occurs on the 2nd to 3rd day of the menstrual period. Due to differences in one's physical fitness, age, climate, region and living conditions, the amount of menstruation sometimes fluctuates slightly, which is all within the normal physiological range.

Menstrual blood color refers to the color of menstrual blood. Menstrual blood is generally dark red, and is lighter in color at first, then gradually becomes heavier, and finally turns dark red and clear. In addition to blood, there are also fragments of uterine wall, cervical mucus and squamous epithelial cells in the vagina. The main characteristic of menstrual blood is not coagulation, but under normal circumstances, there are sometimes small clots.

Menstrual quality refers to the properties of menstrual blood. Under normal circumstances, the menstrual quality is neither thin nor thick, is not easy to coagulate, has no obvious blood clots, and has no special smell. Pathological changes in menstrual content are not only common menstrual symptoms, but also an important part of clinical medical dialectics. By understanding the changes in meridians, important diagnostic data can be provided for clinical medicine. When women have their first menstruation, the menstrual discharge is thick or sticky, which is called "thick menstrual discharge".
