Is brown discharge normal during early pregnancy?

The color of secretions of many women may change after they become pregnant. Many pregnant women feel very worried when they first see that they have brown secretions. In fact, this is a normal situation and will gradually get better after this period of time. But you should also know that this situation may also occur if it is an ectopic pregnancy or threatened miscarriage.

1. Experts say that when there is brown discharge in the early stages of pregnancy, it will get better after a while. You need to be careful not to overwork and get more rest. There is no problem if the brown discharge is very light in color. If the color is darker, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up.

2. In addition, a blood HCG test should be done to confirm pregnancy. If you are indeed pregnant and have vaginal bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy, you need to go to the hospital for a vaginal B-ultrasound examination to determine whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy. If it is an intrauterine pregnancy, you also need to do a blood HCG and progesterone test to determine the hormone levels and fetal development. If it is an ectopic pregnancy, it is best to undergo electronic laparoscopic surgery to maximize the preservation of organ and functional integrity. You need to go to the hospital for examination to make a clear diagnosis and receive symptomatic treatment.

3. Generally speaking, if there is brown substance in vaginal secretions, it may be cervical erosion, irregular shedding of endometrium, etc. It cannot be confirmed whether it is threatened abortion. It is recommended that you go to the Maternal and Child Health Hospital for regular prenatal check-ups to ensure the normal health of the fetus.

4. If brown discharge appears intermittently, you should temporarily avoid sexual intercourse, otherwise there will be a risk of miscarriage. In the early stages of pregnancy, the fertilized egg (embryo) fails to implant in the uterus and is in the early stages of development. The placenta has not yet fully developed and the connection between the placenta and the uterine wall is not yet stable. If you have sexual intercourse at this time, the uterus will be vibrated, which can easily cause the placenta to fall off and cause miscarriage. If you engage in sexual intercourse at an early age, the prostaglandins contained in the semen may cause the uterus to contract and the cervix to relax, which, combined with the stimulation during sexual intercourse, may lead to miscarriage. Sexual activity should still be avoided during the first 10 weeks.
