For women with a healthy reproductive system, vaginal discharge should be transparent or white, and there should be no odor. If the color and appearance of vaginal discharge suddenly change, it should be taken seriously. It may be due to a disease in the reproductive system and prompt medical attention is necessary. So why does vaginal discharge have a black substance?
If there is something black or brown mixed in the vaginal discharge, it may be due to bleeding from the uterus or cervix, but the amount of bleeding is not large, which causes the blood to not be discharged in time and oxidized in the uterine cavity, resulting in a black color. The factors that can cause uterine and cervical bleeding are quite complex, such as cervical polyps, cervical erosion, uterine diseases, etc.
But if there is something brown mixed in the vaginal discharge and it occurs during ovulation, then you need to worry, it should be caused by ovulation bleeding. Ovulation induced bleeding is caused by an increase in hormone levels in the body, which stimulates the endometrium. After the ovulation period, it can return to normal on its own, and this process usually does not exceed three days.
In order to timely understand one's physical health, it is important to pay attention to observing one's vaginal discharge in daily life. Not only does a change in the color of vaginal discharge represent a disease phenomenon, but it should also be taken seriously when the characteristics of vaginal discharge change. For example, if vaginal discharge turns into tofu residue, it may be inflammation caused by fungal infection.
