Some women notice bleedingdischarge after menstruation, but often do not rush to go to the gynecologist, letting the situation drift. But this phenomenon in most cases indicates any violations in the female body and requires immediate treatment.
Normally, the microflora of the vagina impliestransparent excretions without impurities of blood and odor, which do not cause irritating effect and discomfort. The amount of these precipitates depends on the phase of the cycle. Virtually all women have mucosal discharge after menstruation in a small amount.
By the middle of the cycle, there are more of them, but thisis a norm and should not cause concern. Two, three days before the onset of menstruation, these discharges turn white, become viscous and plentiful, and can also produce an acidic odor. About 150 ml of blood is released during menstruation. This liquid should not have an unpleasant odor and subsequent discharge.
In the last days of monthly blood, less is released,its coagulability rises, and therefore the secretions can be brown, but without a sharp odor. If black blood clots with a rather unpleasant or rotten "aroma" appear, it is necessary to pass tests for STDs: gardnerellez, ureaplasmosis, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, cytomegalovirus, mycoplasmosis, herpes.
Bloody discharge after menstruation may appear with ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, it is better to make a pregnancy test immediately if they appear to exclude such a problem.
The norm can be considered a brown smear in the firsttwo months after taking contraceptives on the basis of hormonal drugs. But after two months, everything usually passes. If the discharge continues, then the drug does not suit you.
