Black vaginal discharge

Normal vaginal discharge for women is leucorrhea. If the leucorrhea has an abnormal color, it is likely caused by a disease. Black vaginal discharge is a typical condition. There are many reasons for black vaginal discharge. We need to have a comprehensive understanding of these factors. If it is caused by a disease, we must determine the cause as soon as possible and treat it symptomatically so that the leucorrhea can gradually return to normal.

1. According to experts, when brown discharge appears during ovulation, ovulation bleeding cannot be ruled out. This situation is still caused by poor endocrine conditions, which leads to spotting during ovulation. You should drink more water and pay attention to rest. It is recommended that if the bleeding is small and does not affect normal pregnancy, it is better to choose Gongxuening Capsules to help improve the discomfort if necessary.

2. Ovulation bleeding refers to regular vaginal bleeding during the middle of the menstrual cycle, that is, the ovulation period, when the estrogen level drops briefly, causing the endometrium to lose hormonal support and partial shedding of the endometrium. This is called ovulation bleeding. The amount of bleeding is small, and sometimes there is only brown discharge. It usually stops on its own in 2-3 days, and the longest day is 7 days.

3. Generally speaking, short-term and small amounts of ovulation bleeding do not require treatment. If the amount of bleeding is large and lasts for a long time, or if it does not heal, you should go to the hospital in time to check and determine the cause.

4. There are two reasons for ovulation bleeding:

The imbalance of sex hormone secretion causes large fluctuations in hormone levels during ovulation, resulting in obvious bleeding.

Chronic inflammation of the endometrium or inflammatory thickening of the ovarian surface causes significant endometrial congestion during ovulation, and bleeding is not easy to stop on its own, or the inflammatory thickened follicle surface ruptures and bleeds more than normal, and flows back into the uterine cavity with the peristalsis of the fallopian tube and is discharged from the body through the vagina.

Identify gynecological diseases by looking at the color of leucorrhea:

Generally speaking, pathological leucorrhea is mostly inflammatory leucorrhea, leucorrhea caused by tumors and leucorrhea caused by foreign bodies. The following pathological leucorrhea are common symptoms:

Colorless, transparent, sticky leucorrhea: It is egg white-like and has properties similar to the mucus secreted by the cervical glands during ovulation, but the amount of secretion is significantly increased compared to usual. Generally, the possibility of chronic endocervicitis, ovarian dysfunction, vaginal adenosis, or well-differentiated cervical adenocarcinoma should be considered.

White or grayish yellow foamy leucorrhea: It is a characteristic of Trichomonas vaginitis and may be accompanied by vulvar itching.

Curd-like leucorrhea: a characteristic of candidal vaginitis, often accompanied by severe vulvar itching or burning pain.

Gray homogeneous fishy leucorrhea: thin, small to large amounts, unpleasant odor, common in bacterial vaginosis.

Purulent leucorrhea: yellow or yellow-green in color, sticky, and often has a foul odor. 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 retained in the vagina can also cause pus-like leucorrhea.

Bloody leucorrhea: If there is blood mixed in the leucorrhea, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, cervical polyps or submucosal fibroids should be considered. Insertion of an intrauterine device can also cause bloody leucorrhea.

Watery leucorrhea: Continuous discharge of watery leucorrhea like rice washing water, if accompanied by a strange odor, is usually due to advanced cervical cancer, vaginal cancer or submucosal fibroids with infection. If you have intermittent discharge of yellow or red watery vaginal discharge, you should be aware of the possibility of fallopian tube cancer.

Cheese-like leucorrhea: The leucorrhea is thick, slightly sweet, and there is some itching in the vulva. You should be aware of the possibility of Candida infection.

Yellow-green leucorrhea: The leucorrhea is thin and foamy, has a foul smell, and is often accompanied by vaginal itching. Vaginal Trichomonas infection can cause yellow-green leucorrhea.

Brown leucorrhea: The leucorrhea is watery and has a musty odor. It is suspected to be caused by vaginitis, endometritis or an intrauterine contraceptive device.

Leucorrhea with blood - common in genital tumors, inflammation and intrauterine contraceptive device placement, etc.

Tofu-like or curd-like leucorrhea - accompanied by extreme itching of the vulva is often seen in vaginal yeast infection.

Excessive vaginal discharge - often wetting the underwear, may be caused by submucous uterine fibroids or fallopian tube cancer.
