Is it normal to have brown discharge for a day or two before and after my period?

It is generally normal to have brown discharge for one or two days before and after menstruation. It may be related to factors such as cervicitis, endometritis, and luteal insufficiency. The reason needs to be clarified and targeted treatment is required.

1. Cervicitis:

Cervicitis is usually caused by pathogen infection and bacterial imbalance. It is often accompanied by abnormal brown leucorrhea, burning sensation, itching and other symptoms, and can cause brown discharge a few days before and after menstruation. Generally, you can take Fuyankang suppositories, metronidazole tablets, Baofukang suppositories and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Endometritis:

Endometritis is usually caused by mycoplasma, tuberculosis infection and other reasons, often accompanied by abdominal pain, menstrual abnormalities and other symptoms, so it may cause brown discharge a few days before and after menstruation. Generally speaking, it can be relieved by paying attention to personal hygiene and changing and cleaning clothes in time. In severe cases, metronidazole tablets, doxycycline hydrochloride, azithromycin and other drugs can be taken under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Luteal insufficiency:

The luteal phase is before menstruation. Due to fluctuations in hormone levels, endometrial thickening, rupture, and bleeding may occur, leading to a small amount of bleeding before menstruation. Because the blood is not discharged in time, brown discharge may appear. Under the guidance of a doctor, take drugs such as progesterone sustained-release gel, granular progesterone capsules, and dydrogesterone.

In addition to the above, it may also be that the menstruation has not ended, the discharge is not smooth, the menstrual volume is small, and brown discharge appears after mixing with leucorrhea. This is a normal physiological manifestation. It is recommended to adjust work and rest during menstruation. No matter what kind of secretion appears, it is necessary to supplement enough nutrition to meet the body's needs and promote the body's metabolism.
