Brown leucorrhea

Abnormal leucorrhea proves that there is something wrong with a woman's body. Under normal circumstances, leucorrhea is colorless and odorless. If the color or smell of leucorrhea changes, then women should pay enough attention to it. Brown leucorrhea is probably the most common manifestation of abnormal leucorrhea in women, and it is also one of the common problems of many women.

So what is coffee-colored leucorrhea? Clinically, it is believed that there are two main causes of coffee-colored leucorrhea: physiological and pathological. So what do these mean? If you really have coffee-colored leucorrhea, what should you do?

What's wrong with brown vaginal discharge? The color, quality, quantity and taste of vaginal discharge are closely related to the health of the reproductive system. Excessive mental stress, endocrine disorders, taking birth control pills and gynecological diseases may all cause abnormal vaginal discharge. Brown leucorrhea indicates that there is blood in the leucorrhea. There are many reasons that may cause blood in the leucorrhea, so you need to go to a professional gynecological hospital for examination and diagnosis. The brown color of leucorrhea may be due to physiological or pathological reasons. The details are as follows:

1. Physiological reasons: Physiological brown leucorrhea usually appears one or two days before or after menstruation. It is a sign that menstruation is about to come and a manifestation of incomplete menstruation. If ovulation bleeding occurs during ovulation, brown leucorrhea may sometimes appear.

2. Pathological causes: Pathological brown vaginal discharge requires consideration of the possibility of gynecological inflammation or malignant tumors. Various types of cervicitis, vaginitis, endometrial lesions, submucosal fibroids, cervical cancer and other diseases may cause abnormal brown vaginal discharge. When the leucorrhea gradually changes from brown to bloody or hematopurulent leucorrhea, it often means that the condition is getting worse or worsening.

When patients go to the hospital for treatment, the doctor will perform gynecological examination, routine leucorrhea examination, TCT examination and colposcopy examination according to the patient's condition.

During the gynecological internal examination, the patient needs to take off her underwear, lie on the internal examination bed, and straddle the legs on both sides of the footrest. The doctor will then check the vulva for any abnormalities, open the vagina with a speculum, and observe whether the vaginal wall and cervix have any inflammation or erosion. If necessary, a TCT test or a routine leucorrhea examination can be performed. After taking out the speculum, the doctor will insert the index finger or two fingers into the vagina to lift up the uterus; with the other hand, the doctor will touch and press the lower abdomen to determine the position, size and hardness of the uterus. Female friends who have no sexual experience can undergo anal examination.

Routine examination of vaginal discharge uses five tests, including vaginal pH, vaginal cleanliness, amine test, and vaginal microbial examination, to determine whether a woman has abnormal vaginal discharge. It is a physical examination related to women's physiological hygiene. It is very simple to operate and only requires the doctor to take a little secretion from the vagina. There is almost no pain or discomfort.

TCT examination is currently the most advanced cervical cancer cell examination technology in the world. Compared with the traditional cervical scraping and Pap smear examination, it has significantly improved the satisfaction of the specimen and the detection rate of abnormal cervical cells. The detection rate of cervical cancer cells is as high as 100%. At the same time, it can also detect some precancerous lesions and microbial infections, such as fungal, Trichomonas, viral, and chlamydia infections. In view of the current high incidence of cervical cancer, it is best for women of childbearing age to have a TCT examination once a year.

Colposcopy is a procedure that uses a colposcope to magnify the epithelium of the cervical vagina or genital area 10 to 40 times under a strong light source for direct observation in order to observe tiny lesions that are invisible to the naked eye. If a suspicious area is found, a targeted biopsy can be performed. It has now been gradually and widely used in clinical practice and can significantly increase the detection rate of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions.

Brown vaginal discharge may be due to physiological reasons or gynecological diseases. Do not take it lightly. Check it out in time and treat it accordingly after determining the cause.
