Why is there blood in leucorrhea?

When we find blood in our leucorrhea, we will worry that we have a serious gynecological disease. Most people will ask themselves why there is blood in the leucorrhea. They will go to the local hospital for a leucorrhea examination. After the examination, they can find out the problem with the leucorrhea, and thus make a preliminary diagnosis of the type of disease. If there is a problem, further examination is required to confirm the disease. The following is a detailed answer to the question of why there is blood in leucorrhea.

1. Leucorrhea with blood, increased menstrual volume, prolonged menstrual period but normal cycle. It may be uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, or dysfunctional uterine bleeding. In addition, those who have used an intrauterine device may also have increased menstrual flow.

2. Irregular menstrual cycle with bloody leucorrhea. It is often functional uterine bleeding, but endometrial cancer should be ruled out first.

3. Long-term bloody leucorrhea. Most of them are malignant tumors of reproductive organs, such as cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, etc.

4. Leucorrhea contains blood after menopause. Women of childbearing age are more likely to be concerned about pregnancy-related diseases, such as miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, hydatidiform mole, etc.; postmenopausal women are more likely to have malignant tumors.

5. Leucorrhea contains blood after sexual intercourse. Most of them are cervical erosion, cervical polyps, cervical cancer or submucosal myoma.

6. Vaginal bleeding with bloody leucorrhea. It is often considered to be advanced cervical cancer or endometrial cancer with infection.

7. Paroxysmal vaginal bleeding with bloody leucorrhea. There is a possibility of primary fallopian tube cancer.

8. Bloody leucorrhea before and after menstruation. It is usually caused by ovarian dysfunction, but may also be endometriosis.

9. The leucorrhea contains blood, but the amount of bleeding is not much. Some people only have a small amount of brown secretions. It usually lasts for half a day or 2 to 3 days, and no more than 7 days at most. It may be accompanied by mild ovulation pain and back pain. Western medicine calls it ovulation bleeding, while traditional Chinese medicine calls it "intermenstrual bleeding." This is due to a temporary drop in estrogen levels, which causes the endometrium to lose hormonal support and partially shed, causing regular vaginal bleeding. If someone is measuring their basal body temperature, they will notice that this bleeding usually occurs during the transition from low body temperature to high body temperature. If the symptoms are mild, no treatment is required, but if the symptoms are obvious and may affect fertility, treatment should be given.

10. Some women may have bloody vaginal discharge after having unprotected sex because they took emergency contraceptive pills. The impact of emergency contraceptive pills on menstruation is mainly manifested in changes in the menstrual cycle, which may be early or delayed. Especially for repeated users, it can cause menstrual disorders, bleeding, and continuous spotting. Therefore, it can only be used as a remedial measure and cannot replace normal contraceptive methods. It should also be noted here that some women may have their menstruation affected due to the abuse of some "health products", "breast enhancement medicines", "creams" and so on containing hormones.

11. Generally, vaginal bleeding will stop about 3 to 7 days after an abortion or miscarriage. In very few people, bleeding may be prolonged due to physical weakness, fatigue, etc., but this needs to be judged by a doctor. If there are no special circumstances and the leucorrhea contains blood for a prolonged period of time, after excluding intraoperative injuries, cervical inflammation and the like, it is very likely that there are residual particles in the uterus. At that time, the doctor will decide whether to use medication or uterine curettage after examination. Otherwise, after a period of time, the remaining fetal membrane tissue may turn into choriocarcinoma.

The reason why there is blood in the leucorrhea is mainly caused by the above-mentioned diseases. Under normal circumstances, there will be no blood in the leucorrhea. Of course, we should also rule out the possibility that there will be blood in the leucorrhea in the early stage of menstruation. Patients pay attention to the blood in their leucorrhea, which is related to their gynecological health. The disease must be diagnosed and treated, which can alleviate the symptoms of the disease and is also beneficial to the treatment of the disease, so patients must cooperate with the doctor's treatment.
