Causes of light vaginal bleeding

Some female friends may experience a small amount of vaginal bleeding after their menstrual period. This may be due to ovulation bleeding. The most likely duration of the menstrual period is three days, so female friends do not need to worry too much. However, there is a situation where a small amount of vaginal bleeding needs to be taken seriously, mainly a small amount of vaginal bleeding during menstruation, which is a symptom of too little bleeding.

There are often some young ladies who experience a small amount of blood flowing out of their vagina one week after their normal menstruation. The blood is dark red or bright red in color, with no special smell, and generally there is no special feeling. Sometimes there is abdominal bloating. They go to the local hospital for examination, but no cause can be found, and they become very nervous.

In fact, this is not a terrible pathological change in your body, but ovulation bleeding. "Ovulation bleeding" refers to a small amount of vaginal bleeding between two menstrual periods caused by ovulation in the ovaries. Normal menstruation for women occurs every 28 to 30 days (may also fluctuate by 3 to 5 days), and the menstrual period lasts for 3 to 5 days (may also fluctuate by 2 days). Regular ovarian ovulation is the fundamental guarantee for normal menstruation.

Women have two ovaries, one on each side, located behind and below the fallopian tubes on both sides of the uterus. They produce eggs and sex hormones to maintain women's normal menstrual physiology and reproductive function. In a mature female, generally one follicle matures and releases a mature egg every month. Ovulation usually occurs in the middle of two menstrual periods, roughly about 14 days before the onset of menstruation.

Vaginal bleeding visible to the naked eye may last for several hours, or 3 to 5 days, but rarely for more than 7 days. In severe cases, it may continue to occur until the next menstrual period. Some women have very little bleeding, which stops with a few drops, or there is blood mixed in the vagina. Generally, it rarely reaches the amount of menstruation. Bleeding may be accompanied by distension and discomfort, dull pain or obvious pain in one side of the lower abdomen, and may even involve the waist and inner thigh. Symptoms may occur continuously every month or every other month. For some people, they occur for several months each year, while for others, they only experience this phenomenon once in their lifetime. Repeated episodes of ovulation bleeding may affect pregnancy. If this is the case, treatment must be carried out under the guidance of a physician.
