Is the dark brown discharge from below a symptom of menstruation?

Does the dark brown discharge from below mean that my period is coming?

The following refers to the vagina. Dark brown discharge from the vagina may be menstruation, but it may also be related to cervicitis, endometritis and other reasons.

1. Menstruation:

Menstruation usually refers to the periodic and exfoliative bleeding of the endometrium, which is related to the periodic fluctuations of estrogen and progesterone secreted by the ovaries. If the blood stays in the vagina for too long during menstruation, iron may precipitate, making the secretion dark brown. If there is no other discomfort, special treatment is usually not required, and daily care can be done during menstruation.

2. Cervicitis:

Cervicitis usually refers to inflammatory lesions of the cervix, including the cervical vagina and cervical mucosa, which may be related to pathogenic bacteria infection, cervical cell damage, long-term stimulation, etc., because repeated invasion of the uterine mucosa may cause local bleeding and lead to black-brown discharge from the vagina. Patients can take oral penicillin V potassium tablets, roxithromycin tablets, levofloxacin hydrochloride tablets and other drugs according to the doctor's advice.

3. Endometritis:

Endometritis is usually caused by inflammation caused by pathogens infecting the endometrial tissue. Patients may experience symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, and abnormal menstruation. If the inflammation is severe, it can cause the endometrial tissue to fall off, leading to abnormal vaginal secretions. Patients can take oral amoxicillin dispersible tablets, cephalosporin capsules, azithromycin capsules and other drugs according to the doctor's advice.

In addition to the above common causes, it may also be related to endometriosis, cervical polyps, uterine fibroids, etc. If the patient has other discomfort symptoms, he or she can go to the hospital for examination and cooperate with the doctor for treatment.
