Women may experience some uncomfortable symptoms before their menstrual period, which is a normal physiological phenomenon before menstruation. However, some women may experience such discomfort symptoms but also have some brown discharge, which can make people worry about whether there are health problems. So, what's the reason for having brown discharge a few days before menstruation?
1. It is a normal physiological phenomenon for women to have a small amount of brown discharge two days before menstruation. Because on the eve of menstruation, the secretion levels of various estrogen and progesterone in women's bodies will decrease to the lowest level, so the endometrium will peel off and bleed, thus forming menstruation. During this process, a small amount of endometrial shedding and slight bleeding may occur near the onset of menstruation. However, this small amount of menstrual blood remains in the uterine cavity and vagina for a longer period of time, which is why brown discharge appears.
2. With the onset of menstruation, menstrual blood becomes dark red, usually with more menstrual flow in the first two to three days, gradually decreasing thereafter. There may also be a small amount of dark brown secretion near the end of menstruation.
3. If a woman has brown discharge at the beginning of her menstrual cycle, but the menstrual blood appears black brown during menstruation, it indicates the presence of health problems, generally related to endocrine dysfunction. For women who experience menstrual bleeding, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination, such as undergoing six tests for sex hormones. If there is endocrine dysfunction, timely adjustment or treatment should be given.
