Many women have a vaginal discharge problem, which can be normal, but ignoring it can be harmful to health. Generally, the white discharge increases before the period and at the time of ovulation. However, if brown is being discharged, there may be some possible reasons behind it:
Brown vaginal discharge due to:
- PCOS:
- Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) can cause irregular periods, causing brown discharge.
- Start or end of periods
- Brown discharge is normal at the beginning or end of periods, but if it is in excess, it requires attention.
- Infectious diseases:
- Sexual transmitted infections such as bacterial veginosis, yeast infection, trichomoniasis, or gonorrhea can also cause brown discharge.
- Ovulation:
- Some women may also have brown discharge during ovulation.
- Hormonal changes:
- Irregular drifts of uterus lining can also cause brown discharge due to hormonal fluctuations.
- Fertilization:
- A fertilized egg attached to the layer of uterus can cause light bleeding, which usually occurs 1-2 weeks after fertilization.
- Cervical polyps or fibroids:
- These can also cause brown discharge.
- Signs of pregnancy:
- Brown discharge may be an early symptom of pregnancy, and sometimes it can also be a sign of ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage.
- Premenopose:
- Due to hormonal changes, brown discharge can occur during pre -ofpose.
- Serious health problems:
- Brown vaginal discharge may indicate serious conditions such as cervical cancer, which may come up with other symptoms, such as pain or abnormal weight during sex.
