What is the cause of brown vaginal discharge and vaginal itching?

Many women have experienced brown vaginal discharge and itching. When encountering such a situation, many women will use clean water or cleaning fluid to clean their vagina to relieve the itching. However, not only is the itching relief effect not particularly good, the amount of vaginal discharge is still large and the color is abnormal. In fact, when women experience brown vaginal discharge and itching, they need to pay certain attention.

Many women have experienced brown leucorrhea, so what exactly is the reason for brown leucorrhea? If the leucorrhea contains other colors, such as blue, red, yellow, white, black, etc., the amount of leucorrhea is too much or it is thick like pus, or thin like water, or there is a bad odor, itching, burning pain in the genitals, as well as back pain, weak legs, lower abdominal distension and other pathological conditions, then Chinese medicine calls it "leucorrhea disease."

Professor Zhang, an endocrinologist at the hospital, said: When suffering from "leucorrhea", one cannot simply consider vaginal diseases. In addition to vaginitis, other diseases such as cervicitis, pelvic inflammation, cervical cancer, uterine fibroids, uterine adenocarcinoma, vaginal foreign bodies, etc. can all cause different types of "leucorrhea". However, from the perspective of Western medicine, cervicitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, and senile vaginitis are more common clinically.

If the amount of leucorrhea is not much, the color is milky white or egg white-like, and it has a slightly fishy smell, but there is no discomfort, then it is physiological leucorrhea. If the leucorrhea is excessive and becomes yellow, purulent, or even bloody, it is pathological. If the leucorrhea is grayish yellow, foamy, and has a fishy smell, and is accompanied by vulvar itching, burning, pain and sexual intercourse pain, it is mostly trichomoniasis vaginitis; if the leucorrhea is grayish white, like tofu dregs or like curd, and sometimes has a bad smell and is accompanied by vulvar itching and burning pain, it is mostly candidal vaginitis; if the leucorrhea is yellow and yellow-green, has a bad smell, like rice soup or pus, it is mostly caused by purulent bacterial infection, such as chronic cervicitis, vaginitis in the elderly and endometritis; if there is blood in the leucorrhea, the so-called bloody leucorrhea is more common in severe cervical erosion, cervical polyps, submucosal myomas, and cervical cancer; watery leucorrhea, that is, leucorrhea like thin water, sometimes like rice soup, it is mostly caused by cervical cancer, uterine body cancer, fallopian tube cancer, etc. In short, there are many causes of pathological leucorrhea, most of which are inflammation, and some are malignant tumors. Therefore, pathological leucorrhea should be examined in detail and treated in time after diagnosis.
