Introduction
Brownish discharge in adolescent girls every day may be caused by physiological factors or pathological conditions such as vaginitis, endometritis, etc., and appropriate treatment should be based on the specific situation. The detailed analysis is as follows: During adolescence, the internal reproductive organs gradually mature, and hormonal levels are relatively unstable, which may cause some stimulation to the endometrium.
Adolescent girls experiencing daily brown discharge may be due to physiological factors or pathological conditions such as vaginitis or endometritis. Appropriate treatment should be based on the specific cause, with detailed analysis as follows:
I. Physiological Factors
During puberty, the reproductive organs gradually mature and hormonal levels can become unstable. This may stimulate the endometrium, causing it to shed. The shed endometrial tissue often contains a small amount of blood. As it is expelled from the body and exposed to air, oxidation occurs, which may result in daily brown discharge in adolescent girls. This is considered a normal phenomenon.
II. Pathological Factors
1. Vaginitis
Poor personal hygiene, such as infrequent changing of underwear, may allow bacteria to accumulate on undergarments and enter the body, leading to inflammatory infection and vaginitis. Inflammatory factors can irritate the vaginal mucosa, causing ulceration and bleeding, resulting in the aforementioned symptoms. It is recommended that patients use medications such as vaginal antibacterial gels or ornidazole vaginal suppositories under medical supervision.
2. Endometritis
Engaging in intense physical activity may heighten nervous system excitability, leading to frequent uterine contractions. This may introduce external bacteria into the uterus, where they can attach and trigger endometritis. Inflammatory factors cause edema and congestion of the endometrial lining, which can also lead to brown discharge. Patients are advised to take medications such as metronidazole tablets or amoxicillin capsules as directed by a physician.
In addition, conditions such as cervicitis, salpingitis, or uterine fibroids may also be responsible. It is important during this period to maintain good personal hygiene. If abnormal symptoms persist, individuals should seek medical evaluation at a hospital and avoid self-medicating.
