Menstruation has not come, white discharge is brown

I believe that many women in life will record their menstrual periods, hoping to be prepared before the next menstruation so as not to be caught off guard when menstruation comes. However, some women will secrete some brown substances before menstruation. Some people think that this is the brown substance secreted in leucorrhea. So, why is the leucorrhea brown when menstruation has not come? The editor will introduce it to you below.

Is brown discharge before period a sign of menstruation?

1. A small amount of bleeding occurs before menstruation. This is due to insufficient luteal function or premature degeneration, insufficient progesterone production, and inability to maintain the stability of the endometrium during the secretory phase.

2. Brown discharge before menstruation is caused by the shedding of a small amount of endometrium, while brown discharge during menstruation is caused by blood remaining in the reproductive tract for too long.

3. Brown discharge before menstruation may also be caused by cold or gynecological inflammation.

Causes of brown discharge during menstruation

1. Ovulation bleeding: The main reason for brown discharge before menstruation is ovulation bleeding. Modern medicine believes that the disease is caused by insufficient estrogen levels. Ovulation bleeding, also known as mid-menstrual bleeding or intermenstrual bleeding, refers to a small amount of bleeding between two normal menstrual periods, which may be accompanied by varying degrees of lower abdominal pain. It usually stops on its own in 2-3 days and can last up to 7 days. Sometimes it resembles menstruation and is mistakenly believed to be having two periods in a month.

2. Pathological bleeding: Brown discharge before menstruation may be caused by organic diseases or drugs, such as endocrine disorders, genital inflammation, tumors, developmental abnormalities, malnutrition, etc.

The above is the editor’s introduction about brown discharge before menstruation and missed menstruation. After washing, you all have some understanding. Brown discharge before menstruation only occurs when there is ovulation bleeding or pathological occurrence. However, since it is difficult for us to distinguish whether this situation belongs to the former or the latter, the editor recommends that you go to the hospital for a clear check. If it is the former, you can rest assured. As long as the latter is treated in time, you will soon recover.
