Normal discharge should be transparent, not causing discomfort and discomfort. Also, they should not have any smell or color cast. After menstruation, their number is slightly less than before it, before ovulation, the discharge becomes more abundant and completely transparent.
Spotting discharge is a discharge that is meager in texture and has an admixture of blood. In the presence of some gynecological disorders, they can appear after menstruation, before it and in the middle of the cycle.
So, after the end of menstruation, the presence of secretions that are not characterized by an unpleasant odor, have a liquid consistency and do not cause discomfort is considered normal. After menstruation, their number is very scarce.
Spotting after menstruation can have several main reasons:
- The most common is uterine endometriosis. Very often, this condition is also characterized by aching pains in the lower abdomen, which become stronger immediately before and during menstruation.
- Very often, the cause is cervical endometriosis, which can develop after cauterization of erosion, as well as after abortion, diagnostic curettage or pathological birth.
- Sometimes spotting after menstruation occurs due to the development of chronic endometritis. This disease can result from postpartum or postabortion endometritis, which is not completely cured. Sometimes the disease occurs as a result of frequent diagnostic curettage. The accompanying symptoms are severe pain in the lower abdomen and serous putrefactive discharge, which has an unpleasant odor.
- If the secretion of such a consistency manifests itself over a long period, this indicates the development of uterine hyperplasia. The fact is that in this situation, the thickness of the endometrium increases, which is often fraught with infertility.
Spotting in the middle of the cycle can occur as a result of the above diseases, as well as due to the use of hormonal contraceptives in the first months and as a result of the presence of an established intrauterine device. Often this method of protection becomes the cause of heavy and prolonged menstruation, which can lead to the development of anemia. Therefore, in such a situation, it is strongly recommended to remove the spiral.
Brown spotting before menstruation normally appears 1-2 days before menstruation. If they appear earlier than the due date or in the middle of the cycle, then the likelihood of developing a particular disease is high. Such secretions can be the result of hematological diseases, infections or hormonal disorders. They can also be signs of endometrial polyps or hyperplasia. If, as concomitant symptoms, there are also abdominal pain, discharge with blood clots, it is possible that the woman has endometriosis of the uterus or her neck.
If spotting occurs instead of menstruation, there may also be several reasons. So, they can be a sign of pregnancy. However, first you should undergo an ultrasound examination, because such signs are also characteristic of an ectopic pregnancy. Among the possible causes are called hyperplasia, endometriosis, hormonal failure and uterine inflammation.
Remember that brown secretions with a poor consistency are considered acceptable only when a woman takes hormonal-based birth control pills. However, this situation also requires medical confirmation and consultation.
In the presence of any disease, appropriate appropriate treatment is necessary.
