What causes brown discharge after menstruation?

Women's leucorrhea also determines whether their body is healthy. Women's leucorrhea is a secretion like egg white, which has no color, no odor and is transparent. However, if there is blood in the leucorrhea or the color of the leucorrhea changes, it means that there is a disease in the body. So what is the reason for brown discharge after menstruation?

Generally speaking, there are several reasons for 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.
