What's going on if there is blood during the menstrual period?

Vaginal bleeding during menstruation is a very normal phenomenon. However, some girls will experience vaginal bleeding even when they are not menstruating. What is going on? If this happens, don't be careless, but go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. Generally speaking, this situation may be bleeding after sexual intercourse, paroxysmal vaginal blood, vaginal bleeding with leucorrhea, etc.

Vaginal bleeding is one of the most common symptoms of female genital diseases. Vaginal bleeding is a common problem for many women. Some of it is physiological vaginal bleeding, such as normal menstruation and postpartum lochia, which are within the normal physiological range and will not harm your health. Pathological vaginal bleeding is different. It is not only a manifestation of physical illness, but the bleeding itself can also damage physical health. Vaginal bleeding can come from the vulva, vagina, cervix, and endometrium, but most cases come from the uterus.

There are many causes of abnormal vaginal bleeding, such as ovarian endocrine dysfunction, abnormal pregnancy, tumors, reproductive tract inflammation, injury, foreign bodies, or systemic diseases. Age is an important reference value for the identification of vaginal bleeding: vaginal bleeding in young girls and postmenopausal women (elderly women) is often considered to be malignant tumors; vaginal bleeding in adolescent women is first considered to be dysfunctional uterine bleeding (abbreviated as functional uterine bleeding); and women of childbearing age are often considered to have pregnancy-related diseases.

If the bleeding is minor, pay attention to the patient's mental state, count the pulse, and let the patient stay in bed and rest. Those with pale complexion and sweating should lower their heads, raise their feet, drink some light salt water, and keep warm but not overheat. Take some sedatives or hemostatic drugs at the same time. Wait until your condition stabilizes before going to the hospital.

If it is not menstrual bleeding, it often indicates a physical disease. The best way is to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. In addition, you can also put an ice pack on your lower abdomen for cold compress. If there is a serious situation such as heavy bleeding, you should go to a large hospital in time, otherwise, it may lead to danger or even death.
