Causes of abnormal black vaginal discharge

Causes of abnormal black vaginal discharge

As we all know, there are great physiological differences between men and women, such as the reproductive system. Due to the shorter urethra and menstrual period of women, women are more susceptible to reproductive system diseases, that is, gynecological diseases. Among them, abnormal black vaginal discharge is a relatively common phenomenon, which reflects a more serious disease in the female reproductive system. Next, let the experts introduce to you the common causes of black vaginal discharge.

Under normal circumstances, the amount of leucorrhea will not be too much. If the characteristics of leucorrhea, such as quality, quantity, color, and odor, change abnormally, it means that it is a manifestation of a certain disease. For girls, abnormal leucorrhea is more common in vulvovaginal inflammation, such as purulent bacterial infection. The amount of leucorrhea increases, and it is yellow or yellow-green, pus-like, and has a foul odor. If this situation persists for a long time, the possibility of vaginal foreign body needs to be ruled out. In case of fungal and trichomonal infections, the leucorrhea is grayish white and foamy. Taking estrogen drugs to regulate menstruation may cause a large amount of colorless and transparent mucus leucorrhea. Sometimes excessive exercise and fatigue can cause pelvic congestion, which can also lead to a temporary increase in vaginal discharge.

The black color of leucorrhea is because it contains blood, which may be caused by gynecological diseases such as cervical polyps, acute vaginitis, and cervical erosion.

1. Cervical polyps: Cervical polyps usually occur in married women. The clinical manifestations are generally: a small amount of spotting, a small amount of bleeding after sexual intercourse, and a small number of women also have leucorrhea with an odor and blood.

2. Acute vaginitis: Vaginitis is a common gynecological inflammation. Its clinical manifestations are generally: increased vaginal discharge, frequent urination, urgency, black blood in the vaginal discharge, and itching, burning or pain in the vulva.

3. Cervical erosion: Cervical erosion is also a common gynecological disease. The main clinical manifestations are: increased leucorrhea, purulent leucorrhea, and blood. In addition, it is accompanied by low back pain, abdominal pain, and heaviness in the lower abdomen, which can cause contact bleeding during sexual intercourse.

After reading the above, I believe everyone now understands the reason why women's leucorrhea is abnormally black; in our daily life, even if we do not find any abnormal leucorrhea, we should check regularly so that we can detect the disease earlier and treat it in time. If you find that your vaginal discharge is abnormally black, regardless of whether you have other discomforts or not, you should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
