Brown discharge from vaginal discharge is a symptom of abnormal vaginal discharge and should be taken seriously. Abnormal vaginal discharge may simply be an increase in amount, or it may also be accompanied by changes in color, texture, and odor. Experts point out that abnormal leucorrhea must not be taken lightly. If it is not treated in time and not eradicated, serious sequelae may occur, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, etc. In severe cases, terminal illnesses such as vaginal cancer, uterine cancer, and cervical cancer may occur. Most middle-aged women who suffer from cancer do so because they did not pay attention to abnormal leucorrhea when they were young, which caused the disease to worsen.

Three diagnostic criteria

1. Transparent and sticky leucorrhea: It is egg white-like and similar in properties to the mucus secreted by the cervical glands during ovulation, but the amount of secretion is significantly increased compared to usual. Generally, the possibility of chronic endocervicitis, ovarian dysfunction, vaginal adenosis, or well-differentiated cervical adenocarcinoma should be considered.

2-color or grayish-yellow foamy leucorrhea: Characteristic of Trichomonas vaginitis, which may be accompanied by vulvar itching.

3. Milky leucorrhea: It is a characteristic of candidal vaginitis, often accompanied by severe vulvar itching or burning pain.

4-color homogeneous fishy leucorrhea: thin, small to large amounts, unpleasant smell, commonly seen in bacterial vaginosis.

5. Type 5 leucorrhea: yellow or yellow-green, sticky, and often smelly. It can be caused by acute vaginitis, cervicitis, and endocervicitis caused by bacteria such as Trichomonas or gonococci. Pyometra, cervical cancer, vaginal cancer or foreign objects retained in the vagina can also cause pus-like leucorrhea.

6. Leucorrhea: If there is blood mixed in the leucorrhea, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, cervical polyps or submucosal fibroids should be considered. Insertion of an intrauterine device can also cause bloody leucorrhea.
