Brown discharge while pregnant

When pregnant, her secretions will increase, and generally her secretions are brown, so during this period, pregnant women should adjust their bodies and never cause vaginal bleeding. In addition, when the brown secretions increase, they should go to the hospital to find a doctor to find the cause. So what should I do if I have brown secretions when I am pregnant?

Vaginal brown discharge should not occur during pregnancy. If such bloody discharge occurs, you should go to the hospital for further examination to determine the cause. If you have brown vaginal discharge in late pregnancy, you should first go to the hospital for a check-up to determine whether you have uterine contractions, whether it is a threat of premature labor or labor. You can do an ultrasound to check the condition and length of the cervix, and whether the fetus is normal in the uterus.

The initial sign of embryonic cessation of development is vaginal bleeding, so this symptom must be taken seriously. If the fetus is safe in the uterus and there are no clear uterine contractions, a vaginal examination should be performed to see if there is a serious vaginal infection causing bloody discharge. It is common in clinical practice that during acute inflammation, exudation increases and bloody secretions may appear, which is an indication for timely treatment. Towards the end of pregnancy, as uterine contractions are about to begin and the cervix is ​​constantly maturing, the small blood vessels in the cervix may rupture during the changes, and a small amount of brown bleeding may occur. The reason for this bleeding is that the vagina is acidic, and fresh blood will become darker in color when it comes into contact with an acidic environment, and brown bleeding will appear after being discharged from the body.

Brown bleeding is clinically called spotting, and is a sign of impending labor. Generally, uterine contractions may occur within a short period of time after the onset of brown bleeding. Therefore, once bleeding occurs, even in the late stages of pregnancy, you should go to the hospital and have the doctor check the condition of the cervix to see if it is mature, and then check whether the fetus has regular contractions and whether the fetus is safe in the uterus. If there is no problem, uterine contractions may start within 1-2 days or 2-3 days, leading to delivery, so you can be fully prepared. If it is convenient to see a doctor, you can go home and wait for delivery, and then be hospitalized after the uterine contractions become regular; if it is not convenient to see a doctor, you can be hospitalized in advance, and it is estimated that delivery should start soon.
