Brown vaginal discharge with odor

I believe all female friends should know that if you are healthy, your leucorrhea will generally not have any odor and will generally be white in color. If the color of your leucorrhea changes and is accompanied by an odor, it clearly proves that you have gynecological inflammation. Only gynecological inflammation can cause the leucorrhea to be brown and have an odor. I hope you know this.

Therefore, if you find that your vaginal discharge is brown and has an odor, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. Many patients may also have symptoms of vaginal itching, which requires more active treatment. So, what is the specific reason for the brown leucorrhea with an odor?

Leucorrhea is brown and has an odor. It is a sticky white liquid that flows out of the vagina of women. It is a mixture of secretions from the Bartholin's glands, cervical glands, endometrium, exudate from the vaginal mucosa, and desquamated vaginal epithelial cells. Leucorrhea contains lactobacillus, lysozyme and antibodies, so it has the effect of inhibiting bacterial growth. During sexual intercourse, the amount of leucorrhea will increase, which will lubricate the vagina and facilitate sexual intercourse. Generally, the amount of leucorrhea increases during the middle of the menstrual period and becomes thin and transparent; after ovulation, the leucorrhea becomes thick, turbid and less in quantity.

There are many types of brown and odorous vaginal discharge. Some of them may be caused by inflammation and suppuration in the cervix, which causes abnormal vaginal discharge, so go to the hospital for a gynecological examination first, and then decide on medication.

Normal leucorrhea is white, sometimes transparent, sometimes sticky, and has no odor. Yellow (amine) leucorrhea: mostly caused by bacterial infection. Gonorrhea, tuberculosis bacteria, etc. may be the cause of the disease, and Treponema pallidum can also cause purulent infection of the vagina. When a patient discharges a large amount of leucorrhea with a special odor from the vagina, one should suspect whether there is a foreign body in the vagina, which may cause an increase in leucorrhea and a serious infection.

After understanding what causes brown and odorous vaginal discharge, if you are diagnosed with gynecological inflammation, it is recommended that you pay attention to treatment and refrain from sexual intercourse during treatment. If gynecological inflammation is caused by infection, your sexual partner needs to be treated together to avoid the possibility of reinfection in the future.
