What’s with the pink discharge in the late menstrual period?



Pink discharge in the late menstrual period may be related to a small amount of menstrual blood that has not been drained or incomplete atrophy of the corpus luteum.

When the menstrual cycle reaches the late stage, when the menstrual blood in the uterine lining has not been completely discharged, a small amount of menstrual blood is discharged, which can be diluted by the leukorrhea and can appear as pink color on the underwear. This is a normal phenomenon, no need to worry.

Patients with luteal atrophy can prolong the menstrual period. In this case, pink discharge can also appear on the underwear at the end of the menstrual period, again due to the secretion of too little menstrual blood and the dilution of the same.

Frequent pink discharge at the end of menstruation should be timely consultation, pay attention to daily warmth, drink more hot water, eat less cold stimulating food, maintain a relaxed mood.
