There is still brown discharge after the menstrual period. What is the cause of the abnormal discharge?

Many women believe that it is normal to have another menstruation in the early stages of pregnancy. In fact, if a woman has brown vaginal discharge in the early stages of pregnancy, which is similar to the symptoms of menstruation but not menstruation, most of the discharge is dark or brown. It should be considered as hidden miscarriage or normal physiological characteristics. If the discharge is heavy and accompanied by abdominal pain and physical discomfort, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.

What is brown discharge during early pregnancy?

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.

Whether it is the increase of leucorrhea in the early stage of pregnancy or in other periods, the following points need to be done:

1. Keep the vulva clean and wash it with warm water 2-3 times a day.

2. In order to prevent cross infection, pregnant women must prepare special basins and bath towels to clean the vulva.

3. Change your underwear frequently. Do not put washed clothes in a dark corner to dry, but expose them to the sun.

4. After defecation, wipe from front to back to avoid bringing residual feces or dirt around the anus into the vagina.

5. Improve nutrition and eat more foods rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, such as lean meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits, etc. to enhance physical fitness.

6. If the amount of vaginal discharge increases, and its color and properties change, or even have a strong odor, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment immediately.
