What causes brownish vaginal discharge during pregnancy?
Patient: Hello I am 7weeks today. For a few days off and on when I go to the restroom I have small brownish tissue on the tissue when I wipe. I dont see it on my underwear just sometimes when I wipe here and there. The last time I had my hcg numbers tested they jumped from 21,00 to 42,000. In the past i have had a few miscarriages due to lupus anticoagulat. Is brownish tissue always a bad thing or could it mean something else? Doctor: Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the presence of brownish spotting might come under threatened miscarriage where in its just a indication that miscarriage might happen if the proper care is not taken.Also as you have lupus anticoagulant which might be a cause for recurrent miscarriage the treatment might be needed for that.Avoid physical strain and intercourse.Take good rest.Also ultrasound might be helpful in knowing the pregnancy status.Its good that HCG levels have doubled up.Dont worry many cases with lupus anticoagulant also progress and will have good outcome.Relax.Best regards...
