Unmarried girl with brown vaginal discharge

Generally speaking, women's chances of developing gynecological diseases will greatly increase after they have had sexual intercourse. Therefore, women who have had sexual experience must pay special attention to the hygiene and health of their lower body. However, many unmarried girls who have never experienced sexual life are also prone to gynecological diseases, which is also the result of not providing good protection for their lower body. So what is the situation when an unmarried girl's leucorrhea is brown?

There are two possibilities for a woman's leucorrhea to turn brown. One is physiological and the other is pathological.

Physiological discolored leucorrhea usually occurs one or two days before or after menstruation. It is a sign before menstruation or a sign that menstruation has not yet completely drained out. It is a normal phenomenon.

In addition, brown vaginal discharge may also appear in the middle of two menstrual periods, which is the ovulation period. This is a symptom of ovulation bleeding. It is because in the middle of the menstrual period, the female estrogen level drops temporarily, causing the endometrium to lose hormonal support and partial shedding of the endometrium, causing regular vaginal bleeding. Normal ovulation bleeding is usually not heavy and will last from half a day to several days. It may be accompanied by mild abdominal pain or back pain. Every woman may experience ovulation bleeding, but because the amount of bleeding is usually very small, it cannot be directly observed with the naked eye. However, some people may experience significant bleeding symptoms, so the severity cannot be generalized.

What causes pathological brown leucorrhea?

1. Infection

If women do not pay attention to personal hygiene during menstruation, use contaminated sanitary products, have sex during menstruation, etc., it is very easy to cause pathogen infection, leading to the occurrence of brown vaginal discharge in women. Common infections include trichomoniasis, mold infection, bacterial infection, fungal infection, etc. Among them, many infections can cause gynecological inflammation, such as vulvitis and vaginitis.

2. Cervicitis

Childbirth lacerations, changes in sex hormones, or cervical inflammation caused by sexual activity may lead to cervical erosion and increase the amount of brown vaginal discharge. Common is chronic cervicitis, such as cervical erosion. Because cervical erosion is the most common cervicitis in women, it is the first factor that should be considered when brown leucorrhea appears.

3. Ovulation bleeding

Brown vaginal discharge during ovulation is usually related to ovulation bleeding. The brown color of vaginal discharge during ovulation is because after the mature follicle ruptures and ovulates, the estrogen level drops sharply and significantly, which cannot maintain the growth of the endometrium, causing local rupture and shedding of the endometrial surface, resulting in breakthrough bleeding. With the formation of the corpus luteum of the ovary, sufficient estrogen and progesterone are secreted to quickly repair the ruptured endometrial surface and stop the bleeding. Or it may be that during ovulation, the mature follicles secrete more estrogen, causing endometrial congestion and leakage of red blood cells. Women do not need to worry too much if this phenomenon occurs. The bleeding will disappear after about two or three days.

It is important to be aware that ovulation bleeding may also be caused by other gynecological diseases. If you find that ovulation bleeding lasts too long and does not recover for a long time, you should consider whether it is related to cervical diseases such as cervical erosion, uterine polyps, and cervical cancer.

What happens if an unmarried woman has dark brown vaginal discharge? If a woman has dark brown vaginal discharge, she must go for a check-up. Only after the check-up can she know the cause clearly and make a diagnosis and treatment. Pay more attention to personal hygiene and avoid sexual intercourse during treatment.
