The reasons that are independent of the menstrual cycle
In most cases, a woman, found in his brown discharge, immediately begins to worry about his health, and wonder why go brown vaginal discharge? Let's see where they come from and in what cases do not worry. Vaginal discharge start to be allocated somewhere in puberty and accompanies the woman throughout life.

Brown gives the blood that is present in the secret, and the difference in color depends only on the amount of blood.
Conventionally, all allocation can be divided into those that are dependent on the menstrual cycle, and those that do not depend on him.

The monthly cycle and its impact
Often the cause of brown discharge becomes the aging of the endometrium - the inner mucosa of the uterine body. For some reason (due to various changes in the body) menstrual period, the cells lining of the uterus have time to grow old in and out of the body in the form of a brown discharge. So, just around the corner and she menstruation. In some cases, if there was a strong hormonal changes (for example, at the beginning of hormonal contraceptives), such allocation may replace menstruation.
If they are several cycles in a row, be sure to visit the gynecologist, because or the contraceptive does not suit you, either in the body of the inflammatory process has begun. If instead of menstrual vaginal secretions released with a small admixture of blood in women aged 40-45 years, then it may indicate the beginning of menopause.

In some cases, allocation in the middle of the cycle may occur during ovulation (12-14 day). Moreover, with them, and pain can come in the ovaries. Selections began 4-7 days later? This may be the beginning of pregnancy: the attachment of a fertilized egg to the uterine mucosa can stand a little blood.
Normally, selection is in the middle (in every other phase of the cycle) within 3 months from the beginning of use of hormonal contraceptives (hormonal patch, the hormonal ring, birth control pills) because During this time, it is addictive.
