Brown discharge during ovulation

Hormone levels in a woman's body change during ovulation. During ovulation, hormone levels in a woman's body reach their peak, as the egg cells consume large amounts of hormones in preparation for fertilization. When hormone levels in a woman's body drop, vaginal bacteria can enter and multiply in the vagina. These bacteria can cause vaginal discharge to increase and appear brown or dark brown.

The uterus in a woman's body also changes as hormone levels change. During ovulation, the uterus contracts to accommodate the egg cell into the uterus. This contraction causes the blood vessels and tissues in the uterus to become irritated, causing vaginal discharge to appear brown or dark brown.

The acidic environment in a woman's vagina can also affect the formation of brown discharge. During ovulation, the acidic environment in a woman's vagina decreases because egg cells consume a large amount of acidic resources in preparation for fertilization. Therefore, when the acidic environment in the vagina decreases, bacteria can enter the vagina and multiply, leading to the formation of brown discharge.
