What causes sudden vaginal bleeding?

In our country, more than 90% of women have experienced sudden vaginal bleeding. Do you know what causes sudden vaginal bleeding? Are you aware of your physical condition? Do you go to the hospital for a physical check-up regularly? Now let us understand what causes sudden vaginal bleeding. I hope that through the following introduction, female friends can pay more attention to their bodies.

1. Symptoms of vaginal bleeding

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.

2. Types of vaginal bleeding:

The menstrual flow increases and the menstrual period is prolonged but the cycle is normal. 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. Vaginal bleeding during irregular menstrual cycles. It is often functional uterine bleeding, but endometrial cancer should be ruled out first. Long-lasting vaginal bleeding. Most of them are malignant tumors of reproductive organs, such as cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, etc. Irregular bleeding 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. Bleeding after sexual intercourse. Most of them are cervical erosion, cervical polyps, cervical cancer or submucosal myoma. Vaginal bleeding with leucorrhea. It is often considered to be advanced cervical cancer or endometrial cancer with infection. Paroxysmal vaginal bleeding. There is a possibility of primary fallopian tube cancer. Bleeding between periods. It occurs between two menstrual periods, lasts for three to four days, and when the amount of blood is very small, it is mostly ovulation bleeding. Spotting before and after menstruation. A small amount of bloody discharge a few days before or after menstruation is usually due to ovarian dysfunction, but may also be endometriosis.

3. First aid measures for vaginal bleeding

If there is a small amount of bleeding, pay attention to the patient's mental state, count the pulse rate, and let the patient rest in bed. 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. You can also put a cold water bag or ice bag on your lower abdomen to stop the bleeding. When you feel nauseous, you should turn your face to one side to prevent suffocation.

4. Precautions for vaginal bleeding

If heavy bleeding occurs, seek medical attention or notify the emergency center as soon as possible, otherwise death may result. If the amount of bleeding is small, rest quietly at home and observe first. Walking or riding in a car at this time may cause the condition to worsen. The patient should be taken to the hospital for examination.

After reading the above explanation, I believe everyone has understood the cause of sudden vaginal bleeding. Therefore, when female friends experience sudden vaginal bleeding, they must pay attention to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. No matter what the cause of bleeding is, it should not be ignored. The cause should be identified in time and treatment should be actively sought.
