What are the causes of brown discharge after menstruation?

Menstruation usually lasts for 3-7 days, and most of the time it ends in three or four days. During menstruation, women should take good care of their bodies, pay attention to diet and personal hygiene, abstain from sexual intercourse, and drink plenty of water. After the menstruation ends, there is generally no secretion. Even if there is secretion, it is mostly leucorrhea. What if there is brown secretion after the menstruation ends? What are the causes? Let's take a look.

It is generally considered to be a sign that the menstruation is not completely clean.

Menstruation often has 1 to 2 days of menstrual blood returning, sometimes appearing as brown leucorrhea, which is a normal physiological phenomenon for women. There is often a small amount of secretion in the female vagina, which is mainly a mixture of vaginal mucosal exudate, cervical canal, endometrium and fallopian tube secretions, called leucorrhea. Normal leucorrhea is egg white-like or white paste-like, has no fishy smell, and is in small amount. If the leucorrhea is brown in the middle of a woman's menstrual period, it is mostly a sign of ovulation bleeding, which is also a normal physiological phenomenon.

It is also possible that menstrual blood is not smooth and stagnant.

First of all, if the blood is black after menstruation, it may be because the amount of bleeding is small at this time, the menstrual blood is not discharged smoothly, and it accumulates in the uterus for a long time. It is also necessary to consider whether it is caused by cervical erosion.

Secondly, the brown discharge after menstruation is intermittent. This can be considered as luteal insufficiency. Luteal insufficiency means that the corpus luteum secretes insufficient progesterone to support the full development of the secretory endometrium. There are also problems such as luteal atrophy, endometrial inflammation, polyps, etc.

Summary: The above is an introduction to what happens when there is brown discharge after menstruation. Although this phenomenon is normal sometimes, it can also occur with some diseases. Therefore, in order to prevent the possibility of gynecological diseases, such as cervical disease, vaginal disease, etc., you should go to the hospital for relevant gynecological examinations and treatments in time.
