Brown discharge after period

Many women experience brown discharge from their lower body after menstruation. What is the reason for this? Will it cause harm to the body? How to treat it? Such worries may be caused by themselves. After all, all female friends avoid gynecological diseases. So what is the reason for this?

What causes brown discharge after menstruation?

Brown vaginal discharge after menstruation usually occurs within 7 days after menstruation. Brown vaginal discharge after menstruation is also called mid-term bleeding, which generally refers to bleeding between two normal menstrual periods, which may be accompanied by varying degrees of lower abdominal pain. It belongs to physiological brown vaginal discharge after menstruation. If the symptoms are mild, no treatment is needed. If you find excessive bleeding or long-term infertility, it is best to go to the hospital for examination and medication. Brown vaginal discharge after menstruation may also be physiological, which is mostly caused by cervical diseases, such as endometrial cancer, cervical cysts, cervical erosion, etc. Gynecological inflammations such as vaginitis may also cause brown vaginal discharge after menstruation.

The brown color of leucorrhea after physiological menstruation cannot be restored on its own. It is recommended to go to the hospital outpatient department for routine leucorrhea examination to determine the cause of the disease. If a woman is of childbearing age and has a normal sexual life, if bleeding occurs after the menstrual period is over, she should consider whether it is related to pregnancy, such as miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, hydatidiform mole, etc. Not only is there vaginal bleeding, but there is also a lot of leucorrhea, which is common in uterine tumors. Consider whether it is advanced cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, or a combined infection of uterine and cervical myoma.

What are the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease?

There are two types of pelvic inflammatory disease: subacute and chronic. Let's take a look at the symptoms of each:

1. Acute pelvic inflammation is characterized by lower abdominal pain, fever, increased female secretions, and persistent abdominal pain that worsens after activity or sexual intercourse. If the condition worsens, there may be chills, high fever, headache, and loss of appetite. Those who develop the disease during the menstrual period may experience increased menstrual volume and prolonged menstrual duration. If the pelvic inflammatory cyst produces pelvic abscess, it may cause partial compression symptoms. The compression of the bladder may cause frequent urination, urgency, pain, and difficulty urinating; the compression of the duodenum may cause frequent urge to defecate and a feeling of urgency after defecation, diarrhea or constipation symptoms. Further development of acute pelvic inflammatory disease can cause diffuse peritonitis, sepsis, septic shock, and in severe cases can seriously endanger life.

2. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is caused by the inability to completely cure acute pelvic inflammatory disease or the patient's weak physical constitution, and the current medical history changes. The symptoms of chronic pelvic inflammation are lower abdominal pain, pain and lumbar pain, which are often aggravated by fatigue, after sexual intercourse, and before and after menstruation. The second is irregular menstruation. Some women with a long history of illness may experience neurasthenia symptoms such as listlessness, general malaise, and insomnia. It is usually difficult to heal and recurs frequently, causing infertility and fallopian tube pregnancy, which seriously affects women's physical and mental health.
