Patient's question:
I am currently taking traditional Chinese medicine to regulate ovulatory bleeding and occasional lower abdominal pain. The bleeding started on the 12th day of my period, and I began taking the medicine on the 15th day (with bleeding that day). I have asked the doctor that it has a regulating effect, but now on the 22nd day, there is still some bleeding, though not much. The color is dark red or dark brown, sometimes with clots or dark red bloody discharge. Previously, the bleeding only lasted 5-7 days, but now it has been going on for 10 days. I am worried it might continue until my next period.I have not had sexual activity, only...
Doctor's answer:
Hello, some women may find that their vaginal discharge appears brown. The brown color is mainly caused by blood-stained discharge, which can turn brown over time. In women, brown vaginal discharge is often physiological—it's a symptom during the ovulation period. If you have brown discharge, don't panic. First, visit a hospital for a vaginal discharge test to rule out pathological causes. Don't feel embarrassed or use medication or cleaning solutions blindly. If the brown discharge is caused by gynecological inflammation, you must choose the right medication under the guidance of a doctor.
