Brown vaginal discharge at 13 weeks of pregnancy

Women do not have menstruation during pregnancy, so under normal circumstances, women's leucorrhea is white and will not have any other colors. If the leucorrhea is brown in the early stages of pregnancy, it is likely that there is a problem with the cervix. Pregnant women need to pay attention to rest. If the symptoms are obvious or last for a long time, it is better to go to the hospital for a check-up to be on the safe side. This article introduces the problem of abnormal leucorrhea in early pregnancy. If you want to know more, you can take a look.

1. Cervical abnormalities. The most common one is cervical erosion. Many women still have sex because they don’t know they are pregnant. Then brown discharge is likely to appear, and cervical erosion should be considered at this time. Cervical polyps can also cause bleeding symptoms, and the bleeding may be continuous. The most noteworthy ones are decidual polyps, which are polyps that occur specifically in women after pregnancy and last longer. This type of polyp cannot be removed surgically, otherwise it will cause continuous bleeding.

2. Endometrial shedding, which is directly related to individual differences. After a woman becomes pregnant, the levels of sex hormones, especially progesterone, secreted by her ovaries are relatively low, so part of the endometrium will continue to shed. Therefore, these women will still have their periods after pregnancy, but the amount of menstrual flow will be much less than usual. Until a woman's estrogen and progesterone levels are maintained at a relatively high level, the endometrium will no longer be shed.

3. Ectopic pregnancy, which mainly refers to the fertilized egg implanting and developing outside the uterus. If a woman has an ectopic pregnancy, she will have abnormal symptoms such as irregular vaginal bleeding and continuous spotting, but it generally will not exceed the amount of menstruation. The harm of ectopic pregnancy is very serious. Not only can the fertilized egg not develop normally, but if it is not treated in time, it may endanger the woman's life.

Some women have brown discharge when they are more than three months pregnant. This is only because the estrogen and progesterone levels are too low. If there are no other abnormal symptoms, then we just need to wait until the middle of pregnancy when the hormone levels increase. If it is due to cervical abnormalities or ectopic pregnancy, then we must take some measures to deal with it, especially ectopic pregnancy may endanger women's lives, so we cannot delay for a moment.
