When it comes to pregnancy, it is not unfamiliar to everyone, and it can even be said that this is a well-known term among the public. However, many pregnant mothers have only a partial understanding or no knowledge of what brown discharge is during pregnancy. So, what are the indications of this secretion for the pregnant mother's body or what causes its secretion? The following will provide answers for everyone.
There are five situations where brown discharge occurs during pregnancy:
The first scenario is biochemical pregnancy, also known as' hidden miscarriage '. It refers to the fact that although the sperm and egg have combined, they have not migrated to the uterine cavity for implantation or have not successfully implanted.
The second situation is abnormal embryonic development. The main reason is chromosomal abnormalities. Experts suggest that if brown discharge occurs during pregnancy, it should be allowed to occur naturally after excluding abnormal or pathological development of the cervix and other reproductive organs. Do not protect the fetus at will, otherwise bigger problems may arise.
The third situation is cervical abnormality. There are three types: one is cervical erosion, which refers to the appearance of vaginal discharge the day after sexual intercourse (many people are not aware of pregnancy), and should be considered as cervical erosion. The second is cervical polyps, which cause bleeding and can persist. The third is decidua polyps, which refer to polyps that are unique to pregnancy and are more prone to bleeding than cervical polyps, and continue to bleed for a long time until mid pregnancy. These polyps cannot be surgically removed, otherwise it will lead to miscarriage or continuous bleeding.
The fourth scenario is endometrial shedding. Due to differences in the human body, some women have lower levels of sex hormones, especially progesterone, after pregnancy, causing some endometrium to continue shedding. Therefore, these women will still experience menstruation after pregnancy.
The fifth scenario is ectopic pregnancy. It refers to the implantation and development of egg cells outside the uterine cavity. Ectopic pregnancy is usually accompanied by irregular vaginal bleeding, which is dark red in color, small in volume, and does not exceed menstrual flow. With vaginal bleeding, decidual casts or fragments can be discharged.
Therefore, once pregnant women discover brown discharge during pregnancy, they should promptly go to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital for a series of relevant examinations, identify the cause, and prescribe the right medicine in a timely manner. Pregnant women should pay attention to the phenomenon of brown vaginal discharge and not ignore it, especially in the first three months of pregnancy. When brown vaginal discharge occurs, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner.
