What if I have brown discharge a week before my period?

Menstruation is the physiological phenomenon that women pay the most attention to. As long as women are women, they will have menstruation, but the premise is that the women's physical health is relatively normal. This menstrual phenomenon is not so good for women, because menstruation is prone to problems and can easily bring a lot of troubles to women. Among them, what's the matter with brown secretions a week before menstruation? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

The main reason for brown discharge before your period is ovulation bleeding. Modern medicine believes that the disease is caused by insufficient estrogen levels. Ovulation bleeding, also known as mid-menstrual bleeding or intermenstrual bleeding, refers to a small amount of bleeding between two normal menstrual periods, which may be accompanied by varying degrees of lower abdominal pain.

In addition to ovulation bleeding, brown discharge before menstruation may also be a non-physiological manifestation. Brown discharge before menstruation may be caused by organic diseases or drugs, such as endocrine disorders, genital inflammation, tumors, developmental abnormalities, malnutrition, etc.

Generally speaking, physical treatment methods for cervical erosion do not affect the secretion of secretions. Vaginal dryness may have other reasons, such as the continued existence of postoperative inflammation. It is recommended to check and treat the symptoms after treatment, and the vaginal inflammation will improve. In addition, considering that it is caused by a decrease in estrogen levels, it is recommended to supplement estrogen, eat more soy products, and pay attention to a balanced diet. In addition, add more foreplay during sex and use some lubricants when necessary.

Generally speaking, brown vaginal discharge before and during the first 1 or 2 days after menstruation is normal, but the causes are different. Brown discharge before menstruation is caused by the shedding of a small amount of endometrium, while brown discharge during menstruation is caused by blood remaining in the reproductive tract for too long. If there is a small amount of vaginal bleeding between two menstrual periods, it is mostly considered to be ovulation bleeding. During the mid-menstrual period, due to a temporary drop in estrogen levels, the endometrium loses hormonal support and some of the endometrium is shed, causing regular vaginal bleeding. If there are no symptoms such as abdominal pain, yellow leucorrhea, odor or vulvar itching, you can continue to observe without worrying too much. You can usually use warm water to clean the vulva, keep the area dry and clean, and prevent infection. However, it cannot be ruled out that it is caused by gynecological diseases, such as cervicitis, vaginitis, etc. You can do a gynecological examination and colposcopy to check the bleeding site to determine whether it is abnormal bleeding.
