Is it normal to have coffee-colored discharge in the lower part after menstruation?

Patient's question:

Hello, I would like to ask, after each menstrual period, there is a brownish discharge in my lower part. I have gone to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test, but the doctor said there is no disease. I would like to consult, is this normal? What is the cause of this.

Doctor's answer:

The menstrual period is generally 3 to 7 days long, with a flow volume of 20 to 120 ML, appearing dark red. If it falls outside this normal range, it is considered menstrual disorder. Conditions such as uterine diseases, ovarian, pituitary, or hypothalamic dysfunction, as well as gynecological inflammation, can all lead to menstrual disorders. Additionally, emotions, medications, diet, stress, environment, and endocrine disorders can also cause menstrual disorders. For your situation, it is recommended to first visit a hospital for relevant gynecological examinations, such as ultrasound and sex hormone tests, and then receive symptomatic treatment based on the specific condition.
