Pathological Brown Stringy Discharge
Pelvic Inflammatory Diseases
If you have prolonged sticky or brown stringy discharge, which appears right after menstruation, has unpleasant odor and is accompanied by abdominal cramps, it can be caused by the inflammatory process in the cervix and ovaries. The reason for such inflammation may be various bacterial and viral infections, which are hard to diagnose because of the vaginal bleeding. Insuchacase it is needed to consult with a gynecologist, to do the ultrasound scan and to begin the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory therapy as soon as possible. Sometimes both partners need special treatment.
Endometriosis
This disease is often accompanied by long, heavy and painful periods. In such a case bloody discharge before and after menstruation looks like spotting, and in the middle of the cycle it becomes stringy and dark-brown in color. The disease necessarily requires consultation with a doctor, as the absence of treatment can significantly exacerbate the problem and lead to serious complications.
