What is wrong with brown discharge ten days after menstruation?

Normally, there is no vaginal bleeding between menstrual periods. The middle period between two menstrual periods should be the ovulation period, and at this time the leucorrhea will become stringy. However, some women may experience physical abnormalities at this time. There is no stringy leucorrhea, but brown secretions appear, which is a symptom of a small amount of vaginal bleeding. So, what is the cause of this?

Brown discharge appears about 10 days after menstruation, which is medically called "intermenstrual bleeding". It is mainly caused by the following reasons:

1. Kidney Yin Deficiency

The patient has Yin deficiency, excessive sexual intercourse and frequent childbirth, which leads to loss of essence and blood in the kidneys, internal heat due to Yin deficiency, and heat hidden in Chong and Ren meridians. During the period of thinning, the Yang Qi moves inside, taking advantage of the Yin, forcing the blood to flow abnormally, thus bleeding; after the bleeding, the Yang Qi leaks out, and the Yin and Yang tend to balance again, so the bleeding stops, but recurs in the next cycle.

2. Spleen deficiency

Worry, fatigue, or improper diet can damage the spleen, causing spleen weakness and loose Chong and Ren meridians. During the period of Gangzuo, Yang Qi moves inside, but it is insufficient, and blood loses control, so bleeding occurs; Yin leaks out with the blood, and Yin and Yang tend to balance again, so the bleeding stops, but recurs in the next cycle.

3. Dampness and heat

Exogenous damp-heat or emotional injury can cause liver depression and spleen invasion, internal generation of water and dampness, and the combination of dampness and heat, which accumulate in Chong and Ren meridians. When the meridians are in the process of formation, the Yang Qi moves internally, causing dampness and heat, which forces the blood to flow abnormally, resulting in bleeding; the dampness and heat are discharged with the menstrual blood, the Chong and Ren meridians are restored to normal, and the bleeding stops, but it recurs in the next cycle.

4. Blood stasis

During menstruation and after childbirth, excess blood remains in the body, and the blood that leaves the meridians accumulates as blood stasis, or emotions are hurt, and qi is stagnates and blood is stagnant, which forms blood stasis over time. The blood stasis blocks the Chong and Ren meridians, and when the menstruation is severe, the Yang Qi moves inside, causing blood stasis, and the blood cannot flow through the meridians, resulting in bleeding; the blood stasis is discharged with the blood, the Chong and Ren meridians are temporarily calmed, and the bleeding stops, but it recurs in the next cycle.

If brown discharge appears in the vagina during the non-menstrual period, regardless of the cause, it is an abnormal symptom and you should see a doctor in time for symptomatic treatment. Also, you should pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva and change your underwear frequently. It is best to expose the washed underwear to the sun for disinfection.
