What causes dark brown vaginal discharge?

What causes dark brown vaginal discharge? As a type of abnormal leucorrhea, dark brown leucorrhea is also a common problem in women's health. Compared with normal leucorrhea, abnormal leucorrhea may indicate the presence of many diseases, such as cervical erosion and cervical polyps. As a woman, you must identify the cause and treat it accordingly.

There are three possible reasons for dark brown vaginal discharge:

1. Ovulation bleeding.

Ovulation bleeding usually occurs in the middle of two menstrual cycles, and the vaginal bleeding or brown discharge caused by it usually lasts for 2 to 3 days. If non-menstrual brown discharge occurs regularly in the middle of your menstrual cycle, then you should consider the possibility of ovulation bleeding.

2. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding, the full name is dysfunctional uterine bleeding.

Uterine bleeding is characterized by irregular menstrual cycles and changes in the amount and nature of bleeding. If non-menstrual brown discharge is accompanied by menstrual disorders, the possibility of functional uterine bleeding should be considered.

3. Bleeding caused by other factors.

Excessive stress in life, excessive physical fatigue, chronic cervicitis such as cervical erosion and cervical polyps can also cause black or brown discharge from the vagina.

Generally speaking, the dark brown vaginal discharge of girls in their twenties is mostly due to ovulation bleeding. In this case, it is not a pathological phenomenon and there is no need to worry too much about it. But if it is chronic uterine inflammation, it cannot be delayed, and early treatment is the solution. Of course, in addition to the above three reasons, it is also possible that your underwear has faded, causing the originally white and transparent leucorrhea to turn dark brown.
