Why is there coffee-colored vaginal discharge?

One thing that is well known to all female friends is that women have vaginal secretions, which the medical community calls leucorrhea. This is normal. Leucorrhea also has standard color and quantity. Discharges in other situations are called abnormal phenomena, such as brown vaginal discharge. So do you know why vaginal discharge becomes brown? Let’s find out now.

If it is caused by bleeding, then it is more complicated. There are two types of non-menstrual vaginal bleeding: physiological and pathological. Generally speaking, some women will experience ovulation bleeding during the ovulation period, that is, mid-menstrual bleeding, which refers to a small amount of bleeding between two normal menstrual periods, which may be accompanied by varying degrees of lower abdominal pain. If the symptoms are mild, no treatment is required. If the bleeding is heavy or affects fertility, medication can be used for treatment. However, irregular vaginal bleeding should also consider the possibility of the following diseases: cervical polyps, acute vaginitis, severe cervical erosion, cervical cancer, uterine submucosal fibroids, etc. In addition, sometimes due to the placement of intrauterine contraceptive rings, there are also some blood streaks in the leucorrhea. Common diseases that cause abnormal vaginal bleeding:

1. Cervicitis: Bleeding is mainly caused by cervical erosion and polyps. It is usually contact bleeding with a small amount of bleeding.

2. Cervical cancer: The main manifestations are contact bleeding or irregular vaginal bleeding after menopause, accompanied by increased vaginal discharge and odor. Cervical smear cytology and colposcopy can confirm the diagnosis.

3. Endometritis and myometritis: There is low fever, continuous small amount of vaginal bleeding between menstruation, which is not stopped, accompanied by increased menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual period, increased secretions, and purulent or bloody secretions.

I wonder if you have carefully read the above explanation of why vaginal discharge appears brown, and now you have a deeper understanding of this issue. The vagina is a very important part of women.

Friends really need to pay great attention to vaginal cleanliness to avoid abnormal situations.
