Why is the vaginal discharge a little brown?

People's concept of health is gradually gaining popularity. As living conditions improve, people are paying more and more attention to health preservation, among which health is an indispensable part. However, women usually suffer from many gynecological diseases. One of the most common is the appearance of brown leucorrhea. What causes the brown color of leucorrhea? For this problem, we will give you a detailed introduction below.

Brown is considered to be caused by bleeding in the reproductive system, such as endocrine disorders, vaginal inflammation, endometrial inflammation, uterine fibroids, cysts, cervical erosion, etc., which can cause vaginal bloody discharge. It is necessary to conduct endocrine, uterine, ovarian and vaginal examinations to clarify the root cause of bleeding, and then symptomatic treatment.

Leucorrhea is a liquid that is secreted from the female reproductive tract and discharged through the vagina, which is beneficial to the human body. All healthy women have leucorrhea. Leucorrhea originates from the cervix and vagina, and contains mucus secreted by the cervix, exudate from the vaginal mucosa, epidermal cells shed from the uterus and vagina, as well as a small amount of white blood cells and non-pathogenic vaginal bacilli. It keeps the vagina at a certain humidity, which is very helpful in preventing the invasion of bacteria. Watery leucorrhea with an odor is a type of abnormal leucorrhea. It is mostly caused by female gynecological diseases.

Brown color usually occurs in people who have had an abortion or are before their period or have poor hygiene habits. It may also be menstrual blood. However, sometimes it is normal to have this situation after childbirth. If it lasts for a long time, you should go to the hospital for examination.

If there is blood mixed in the leucorrhea, reproductive system infection such as vaginitis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. is considered. Further examination by a gynecologist is needed to confirm the diagnosis, such as examination of the vulva, vagina, cervix, uterus and adnexa, routine examination of gynecological inflammation, and basic gynecological tests such as routine BV for leucorrhea and cervical scraping, etc. It is necessary to find out the cause of the disease and treat it symptomatically. Do not blindly treat it and delay the disease.

In daily life, women often have brown leucorrhea, which causes many troubles in their lives. Therefore, women need to understand the above-mentioned knowledge about why their leucorrhea is a little brown. In this way, when such a situation occurs, women will pay attention to hygiene on the one hand, and on the other hand, they need to cooperate with the doctor's use of medication. Only by doing so in many aspects can they avoid being troubled by the disease.
