What causes brown discharge?

Brown discharge is a phenomenon that many women will find. For this problem, you should pay attention to understand the cause, because some are common physiological phenomena, such as ovulation bleeding, but you should also be alert that if it is chronic cervicitis or other gynecological inflammation, it may also cause these symptoms.

1. Ovulation bleeding.

During ovulation, due to a temporary drop in estrogen levels, the endometrium loses hormonal support and some endometrium sheds, causing regular non-menstrual vaginal bleeding, which is called ovulation bleeding. Some women may also experience non-menstrual brown discharge without vaginal bleeding, but this is also considered ovulation bleeding. Ovulation bleeding usually occurs in the middle of two menstrual cycles, and the vaginal bleeding or brown discharge caused by it usually lasts for 2 to 3 days. If non-menstrual brown discharge occurs regularly in the middle of your menstrual cycle, then you should consider the possibility of ovulation bleeding.

2. Non-ovulation period.

(1) Chronic cervicitis. Chronic cervicitis such as cervical erosion and cervical polyps can cause non-menstrual brown discharge.

(2) Dysfunctional uterine bleeding. The full name is dysfunctional uterine bleeding, which is characterized by irregular menstrual cycles and changes in the amount and nature of uterine bleeding. If non-menstrual brown discharge is accompanied by menstrual disorders, the possibility of functional uterine bleeding should be considered.

(3) Caused by excessive stress in life and excessive physical fatigue.
