What is the brown sticky discharge?

Experts emphasize that one must not take chances with abnormal leucorrhea. If it is not treated promptly and the root cause is not eliminated, it is likely to cause serious complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, etc. In severe cases, incurable diseases such as vaginal cancer, uterine cancer, and cervical cancer may occur. Most of the middle-aged women who have cancer are because they did not pay enough attention to abnormal leucorrhea when they were young, which led to the continuous aggravation of the disease.

Brown discharge diagnosis criteria

Yellowish leucorrhea can identify gynecological diseases:

Generally speaking, physiological increase in leucorrhea is caused by inflammatory secretions, secretions caused by tumors and secretions caused by foreign bodies. The following types of pathological discharge are common symptoms:

The discharge is colorless, transparent, and viscous: It is egg white-like and has properties similar to the mucus secreted by the cervical gland ducts during ovulation, but the amount of secretion is significantly increased compared to usual. Generally, the possibility of chronic endometritis, ovarian imbalance, vaginal adenosis, or well-differentiated cervical adenocarcinoma should be considered.

Reduction of milky white or khaki foamy leucorrhea: It is a characteristic of Trichomonas vaginitis and may be accompanied by vulvar itching.

Thin, watery discharge: a characteristic of Trichomonas vaginitis, often accompanied by severe vulvar itching or burning pain.

Dark gray homogeneous fishy-smelling discharge: thinner, small to large amounts, pungent smell, often seen in bacterial infection of vaginal diseases.

Reduction of thick secretions: slightly yellow or yellow-green, thick, and often with a peculiar smell. 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 remaining in the female vagina can also cause thick discharge.

Reduction of bloody leucorrhea: If there is blood in the secretion, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, cervical polyps or cervical fibroids should be considered. Insertion of an IUD can also cause bloody vaginal discharge.

Reduction of brown leucorrhea: Continuous discharge of brown leucorrhea, if accompanied by a strange odor, is generally due to advanced cervical cancer, vaginal cancer or cervical fibroids with infection. If you have intermittent discharge of yellowish or reddish-brown leucorrhea, you should be aware of the possibility of cervical adenocarcinoma.

Reset cheese-like secretions: The leucorrhea is thick, has a slightly sweet smell, and causes some itching in the private parts. You should be aware of the possibility of Trichomonas infection.

Reduction of yellow-green leucorrhea: The secretion is thin and contains foam, has a foul odor, and is often accompanied by vaginal itching. Vaginal yeast infection can cause yellow-green leucorrhea.

Reduction of brown leucorrhea: The leucorrhea is watery and contains a peculiar smell. It is suspected to be caused by vaginitis, endometritis or intrauterine contraceptive device.

Reduction of secretions containing blood - often seen in sexual organ tumors, inflammation and intrauterine contraceptive rings, etc.

Reduction of tofu-like leucorrhea or thin watery discharge - accompanied by vulvar itching, which is common in vaginal fungal infection.

Leucorrhea with odor often wets the underwear, which may be caused by uterine cervical fibroids or cervical adenocarcinoma.
