With the question “What is the disease with black brown mucus after menstruation? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Usually, the possible cause of the brown-black mucus discharge is the blood left over from the period: The amount of blood takes longer to get out of the body. will be darker in color due to oxidation, it may clot or be thicker than normal blood. This is a very normal thing. Therefore, usually in the last days of brown menstrual bleeding will be more obvious. The dark or light color depends on how well your uterus sheds the endometrium and how quickly blood exits your body.
However, brown discharge after menstruation with the following symptoms will be a cause for concern. Specifically as follows:
Long-lasting brown discharge, accompanied by menstrual irregularities, abdominal pain can indicate an ectopic pregnancy, incomplete miscarriage,... Brown mucus Post-menstrual period accompanied by an unpleasant odor: Menstrual blood with a foul odor is most likely caused by an infection or a woman with some sexually transmitted diseases.
