Brown discharge on the ninth day of menstruation

Generally speaking, a woman's menstruation will last about seven days. If it lasts too long, it may be caused by some disease. If there is still some brown secretion on the ninth day, it is recommended that women go to the hospital for a gynecological examination, because this may be caused by endocrine disorders, or because of mental stress, emotional stimulation, etc., which can also lead to menstrual disorders.

Menstrual disorders, also known as irregular menstruation, are common gynecological diseases, manifested as abnormal menstrual cycles or bleeding volume, and may be accompanied by abdominal pain and systemic symptoms before and during menstruation. The cause may be organic disease or functional disorder.

There are several situations in which the disorder of menstrual cycle or bleeding volume is manifested:

1. Irregular uterine bleeding

This is a clinical symptom, including: heavy menstrual bleeding or prolonged menstrual bleeding. It is common in diseases such as uterine fibroids, endometrial polyps, endometriosis or dysfunctional uterine bleeding.

2. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding

It refers to abnormal uterine bleeding caused by endocrine regulation system disorders without obvious organic lesions in the internal and external genitalia. It is the most common type of menstrual disorder and is common in adolescence and menopause. It is divided into two categories: ovulatory and anovulatory. About 85% of cases are anovulatory functional uterine bleeding.

3. Amenorrhea

It is a common symptom in gynecological diseases and can be caused by a variety of different reasons. Amenorrhea is usually divided into primary and secondary types. Anyone who has not had menstruation by the age of 18 is called primary amenorrhea; those who have no menstruation for more than 6 months at any time after menarche and before normal menopause (except pregnancy or lactation) are called secondary amenorrhea.

4. Menopause

Menopause means the cessation of menstruation, which refers to the cessation of menstruation for more than 12 months. However, there are often changes in menstrual cycle and menstrual volume during perimenopause. It manifests as a shortened menstrual cycle, mainly a shortened follicular phase, anovulation and increased menstrual flow.
