What is the cause of brown discharge from female genitals?

We know that the female vagina is a relatively complex organ structure, and menstruation, childbirth, sexual life, etc. are all related to it. Therefore, this area is prone to infection. There are also some secretions in daily life. Some are normal secretions, while some may be abnormal due to certain inflammations or pathological problems. If the secretions are brown, we need to pay attention to it.

Brown discharge before menstruation is generally abnormal. Brown discharge before menstruation is mostly caused by organic diseases or drugs. Including local inflammation, tumors, developmental abnormalities, malnutrition, etc. of the reproductive organs. Generally speaking, we all know that normal menstruation is mostly dark red. If the menstruation is bright red, brown, light and yellow, or black, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is due to qi deficiency, cold or heat. Brown discharge before menstruation can often be relieved by paying attention to menstrual hygiene or cured through traditional Chinese medicine treatment.

Secondly, if there is cervical erosion, it will manifest as increased vaginal discharge, which is usually milky white or light yellow purulent secretions, sometimes bloody or mixed with blood. The vulva and vagina may be irritated by increased leucorrhea and may develop vulvitis or vaginitis, causing vulva and vaginal itching and pain. In addition, sticky leucorrhea is not conducive to sperm penetration, so severe cervicitis can cause infertility.

Again, if there is vaginitis, the leucorrhea may increase, be grayish white, thin, and foamy. The vaginal mucosa is congested, with scattered bleeding spots, itchy and burning sensation in the vulva, and a foul odor in the vulva. When some blood accumulates in the vagina, it may appear black or dark brown when discharged.

Therefore, here we remind our female friends that they need to pay attention to the secretions from the lower body on a daily basis. If it is just normal leucorrhea, it is generally pure white and has no odor. If the secretions appear dark in color, such as brown, then we must pay attention to whether there is local inflammation, such as vaginitis, cervicitis, etc. It is recommended that if it does not disappear for a period of time, an examination and diagnosis should be carried out.
