What causes brown discharge during menstruation?

As we all know, during the menstrual period, women's vaginas will bleed. If women find brown secretions in the vagina, this may be a discoloration of the menstrual period. This is an abnormal phenomenon and is likely caused by a vaginal infection. At this time, you should closely observe whether there are symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, and determine the cause based on multiple symptoms.

First, there is brown discharge before menstruation

The main reason for brown discharge before your period is ovulation bleeding. Modern medicine believes that the disease is caused by insufficient estrogen levels. Ovulation bleeding, also known as mid-menstrual bleeding or intermenstrual bleeding, refers to a small amount of bleeding between two normal menstrual periods, which may be accompanied by varying degrees of lower abdominal pain.

In addition to ovulation bleeding, brown discharge before menstruation may also be a non-physiological manifestation. Brown discharge before menstruation may be caused by organic diseases or drugs, such as endocrine disorders, genital inflammation, tumors, developmental abnormalities, malnutrition, etc.

Second, what is the cause of brown discharge after menstruation?

1. Poor menstrual blood flow and congestion: Black blood after menstruation may be caused by the small amount of bleeding in the late period, poor menstrual blood discharge, and long congestion in the uterus.

2. Menstruation is not over yet: it means that the menstruation has not ended yet, but the amount of menstrual flow is less and mixed with leucorrhea to appear brown. This situation is a normal physiological phenomenon.

3. Gynecological diseases: Cervical erosion, uterine fibroids and endometritis can also cause the appearance of brown secretions. It is recommended that women go to the hospital for a gynecological examination at this time.

4. Luteal insufficiency: Luteal insufficiency is not enough to support the full development of the secretory endometrium, followed by luteal atrophy insufficiency.

5. Intrauterine device: The placement of an intrauterine device may also cause brown discharge after menstruation.

Third, there is brown discharge before menstruation

The menstrual cycle refers to the time interval between two menstrual periods. The brown discharge after menstruation also starts from the first day of menstruation and ends on the first day of the next menstruation, which is called a cycle. Most women have a menstrual cycle of about 28-30 days. The menstrual cycle consists of the menstrual phase, follicular phase, ovulation phase and luteal phase. The ovulation period is in the middle of the menstrual cycle. The method of calculating the ovulation period is to subtract 14 days from the number of days in the menstrual cycle. Women during their ovulation period are passionate, happy, smart and energetic. The ovulation period is called the "intermenstrual period" in traditional Chinese medicine, also known as the mist period (when the smoke and clouds are everywhere). It is the transformation period from yin to yang. Yin blood is the foundation. Only when the yin essence is abundant and the essence turns into qi can yin be transformed into yang. The main pathogenesis of ovulation bleeding is yin deficiency and internal heat. Deficiency of kidney yin and internal movement of yang qi damage the yin meridians, causing Chong and Ren meridians to become unstable and lead to bleeding. Treatment should focus on nourishing kidney yin and clearing away deficiency heat.
