What is the cause of brown discharge during ovulation?

Many girls will have brown discharge during ovulation. What's going on? I believe you will be worried whether there is something wrong with your body. Don’t be nervous, let me explain to you what causes brown discharge during ovulation and what treatments are available.

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.
