What is the reason for the light brown vaginal discharge?

Why is there light brown color after menstruation? Many women experience this phenomenon. Why is this? One reason is that the menstrual blood is not completely clean, but the amount of blood is not much, and it generally does not last too long. However, there may be special reasons. After excluding ovulation bleeding, you can go to the hospital for a detailed examination 3-5 days after your period. You may need a gynecological examination or a routine leucorrhea test. Follow the doctor's instructions for specific details.

Why is there light brown discharge after menstruation? Under normal circumstances, the leucorrhea after menstruation has no odor and the amount is not large. However, the secretions also change in different stages of the menstrual cycle. During ovulation, the cervical endometrial glandular cells secrete vigorously, and the leucorrhea will increase. It is very similar to thin and transparent egg white. It can be stretched several centimeters with two fingers without cutting. It has very good elasticity. However, if it occurs after waiting for 2-3 days, the pelvic cavity will be congested, vaginal discharge will increase, and the disease may have a certain blood color. When the corpus luteum function is insufficient, there will be very dark discharge after menstruation. However, brown discharge after menstruation may be a sign of gynecological inflammation and should be checked in a hospital in time.

Why is there brown discharge after menstruation?

1. Caused by neuroendocrine dysfunction: mainly due to unstable or defective function of the lower hindbrain-stomach-ovary axis, that is, menstrual disease.

2. Caused by organic diseases or drugs, including local inflammation, tumors and developmental abnormalities of the reproductive organs, malnutrition; intracranial diseases; other endocrine dysfunctions such as thyroid and adrenal cortex dysfunction, diabetes, Sheehan's disease, etc.; liver diseases; blood diseases, etc. Menstrual irregularities may occur in women who use drugs to treat mental illnesses, endocrine preparations, or intrauterine devices for contraception. Certain occupations, such as long-distance runners, are prone to amenorrhea.

Of course, sometimes the cause of light brown vaginal discharge may also be menstrual disorders. The specific situation still needs to be checked in the hospital. At the same time, I would like to remind all female friends again that they must calculate their ovulation period by themselves, which is about 14 days before the second menstruation. If the bleeding occurs in the past few days, you can wait and see.
