Why is there no blood but only brown discharge during menstruation?

When there is no blood during menstruation, only brown discharge, this situation may be a little confusing, usually involving ovulation bleeding, scanty menstruation, gynecological diseases or pregnancy factors. Understanding these reasons can help us better cope with and deal with them.

1. Ovulation bleeding: Some women's menstrual cycles are not always regular, and the ovulation period may not be fixed. In this case, brown discharge may be a manifestation of ovulation bleeding. During ovulation, the estrogen level in the body will drop, and it is unable to maintain the normal growth of the endometrium, resulting in a small amount of endometrium shedding, resulting in brown discharge. This situation is usually short-lived and there is no need to worry too much.

2. Small menstrual flow: Sometimes, a few days before menstruation, or due to intrauterine adhesions, hormonal disorders, etc., the endometrium sheds less, resulting in less menstrual flow. At this time, the menstrual blood stays in the uterus and vagina for too long, and becomes brown after oxidation. Although small menstrual flow may be normal, if it persists, it is recommended to consult a doctor to ensure that there is no underlying problem.

3. Gynecological diseases: Vaginitis, cervicitis, cervical polyps, endometrial polyps, and even cervical cancer and other gynecological diseases may also cause abnormal bleeding, manifested as brown discharge. If accompanied by other symptoms such as pain, odor, etc., it is wise to seek medical attention in time. Regular gynecological examinations are an effective means of preventing and early detection of diseases.

4. Pregnancy factors: Some women may have brown discharge during menstruation, which may be related to pregnancy. For example, threatened abortion, ectopic pregnancy or embryonic arrest may cause this phenomenon. If there is a possibility of pregnancy, it is recommended to take a pregnancy test and consult immediately to ensure the health of mother and baby.
