What are the reasons for brown vaginal discharge during the first month of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

On last Friday, I went to the hospital for a check-up and confirmed that I am pregnant. It has been 41 days since then. However, since the 37th day, which was last Thursday evening, brownish discharge has appeared in my underwear. The doctor said it could be a sign of a threatened miscarriage and advised me to rest in bed. But after four days, the brown discharge is still there, and I also have occasional abdominal pain.
These past few days, I haven’t been feeling well emotionally. I also have moderate cervical erosion, and I used to have pelvic inflammatory disease. I wonder if the spotting is related to these conditions? I really want to keep this baby. Is there any way to stabilize the pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

If you have vaginitis during pregnancy, it can be quite difficult for the pregnant woman, because the immune system weakens during pregnancy, making it easier for bacteria to invade. It's still best to go to the hospital for an early check-up and treat the vaginitis. Otherwise, in a few more days, you'll feel more discomfort down there, it might itch. If it itches and there's no other solution, you can buy some tea oil to apply. Tea oil has anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling effects. I wish you a healthy baby boy.
If you experience tea-colored (or bloody) discharge, lower back pain, chest, or abdominal pain during pregnancy, it could be a sign of miscarriage. It's still best to go to the hospital for a check-up, after all, you are pregnant!
