BROWN DISCHARGE and CRAMPS during Endometriosis Endometriosis is the growth of cells similar to those that form the inside of the uterus (endometrial cells), but in a location outside of the uterus. Endometrial cells are the same cells that are shed each month during menstruation. The cells of endometriosis attach themselves to tissue outside the uterus and are called endometriosis implants. These implants are most commonly found on the ovaries, the Fallopian tubes, outer surfaces of the uterus or intestines, and on the surface lining of the pelvic cavity.
They can also be found in the vagina, cervix, and bladder, although less commonly than other locations in the pelvis. Rarely, endometriosis implants can occur outside the pelvis, on the liver, in old surgery scars, and even in or around the lung or brain. Endometrial implants, while they can cause problems, are benign (not cancerous). In most cases women with endometriosis don’t have any symptoms. But some women with endometriosis could experience brown discharge and cramps. Other symptoms of endometriosis include painful periods, pelvic pain and infertility. Pelvic pain usually occurs during or just
before menstruation and lessens after menstruation. Some women experience pain or cramping during/after intercourse, bowel movements and/or urination. Sometimes even pelvic examination by a doctor can be painful in women with endometriosis. The pain intensity can change from month to month, and vary greatly among women. Some women experience progressive worsening of symptoms, while others can have resolution of pain without treatment. Pelvic pain in women with endometriosis depends partly on where the implants of endometriosis are located – usually deeper implants and implants in areas with many pain-sensitive nerves could be more likely to produce pain. The endometrial implants could also produce substances that circulate in the bloodstream and cause pain.
BROWN DISCHARGE and CRAMPS during Uterine fibroids
Uterine fibroids are considered as benign tumors that grow in the lining of the uterus. Medical staffs usually observe fibroids in various shapes and different sizes. The main reasons for development of uterine fibroids are hormonal dysfunctions and genetic predispositions. It was noted the increased frequency of uterine fibroids in obese women and older women (after 35-40). Women with uterine fibroids often could experience cramps and irregular brown discharge. Other symptoms of uterine fibroids include brown spotting between periods, pelvic pain, frequent urination, pain during sexual contacts, lower back pain and abdominal fullness.
