Is brown discharge a sign of cervical cancer?

Brown discharge is not necessarily caused by cervical cancer. It may be caused by factors such as uterine polyps and uterine fibroids, or even be related to adenomyosis.

1. Uterine polyps: This is usually caused by the excessive growth of endometrial stroma, which is covered by benign endometrial glands. It may even be related to excessive androgen levels and inflammatory factors in the body. However, most uterine polyps are benign lesions, and a few may become malignant lesions.

2. Uterine fibroids: They are mainly benign tumors caused by the proliferation of uterine smooth muscle tissue, which may be related to the stem cells and hormone content in the body. They may cause brown discharge in the vagina. If the symptoms are not particularly obvious, no special treatment is required.

3. Adenomyosis: It is usually caused by improper uterine cavity operation such as pregnancy, childbirth or artificial abortion. It is mainly caused by the invasion of endometrial glands and stroma into the myometrium. It will cause brown secretions and even genital itching in patients. It is necessary to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination in time, and then it can be treated with medication or surgery according to the situation.

After brown secretions appear, you need to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination in time and receive treatment according to different conditions to keep yourself healthy.
