The discharge is abnormally brown

Abnormal brown vaginal discharge may be caused by a variety of reasons, including physiological changes, infection, inflammation, or more serious gynecological diseases. Prompt medical treatment is the key to identifying the cause, and taking appropriate treatment measures according to the specific cause.

1. Physiological factors

During the ovulation period or before and after menstruation, the leucorrhea may appear brown due to a small amount of blood mixed in, which is normal. Similar situations may also occur in early pregnancy, which usually do not require special treatment, but require close observation.

2. Infection or inflammation

Infectious diseases such as bacterial vaginitis, candidal vaginitis or trichomoniasis may cause abnormal vaginal discharge accompanied by brown discharge. For treatment, the doctor may prescribe antibiotics (such as metronidazole), antifungal drugs (such as fluconazole) or topical medications (such as clotrimazole suppositories). At the same time, keep the private parts clean and dry, and avoid using irritating washes.

3. Cervical disease

Diseases such as cervical erosion, cervical polyps or cervicitis may also cause brown vaginal discharge. Treatments include medication (such as antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs), physical therapy (such as laser or cryotherapy) or surgical removal of polyps. Regular cervical screening (such as TCT and HPV testing) can help detect lesions early.

4. Endometriosis or uterine fibroids

These conditions may cause irregular menstruation or abnormal bleeding, which may lead to brown vaginal discharge. Treatment options include medications (such as hormone therapy), minimally invasive surgery (such as laparoscopic surgery), or traditional surgery to remove the fibroids.

5. More serious gynecological diseases

If brown vaginal discharge is accompanied by an odor, abdominal pain, or continuous bleeding, be alert to malignant diseases such as cervical cancer or endometrial cancer. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial, and treatment methods include surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy.

Abnormal brown vaginal discharge may be a combination of multiple causes, and targeted treatment should be taken according to the specific cause. It is recommended to seek medical attention in time, make a clear diagnosis through gynecological examination, B-ultrasound or laboratory tests, and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, maintaining good living habits, such as a balanced diet, moderate exercise and avoiding excessive fatigue, can help prevent and improve symptoms.
