What is the cause of black blood in vaginal discharge?

I believe many female friends have encountered the situation of black vaginal discharge with blood. In fact, black vaginal discharge with blood is a manifestation of abnormal vaginal discharge and often indicates gynecological diseases! So what is the reason for black and bloody vaginal discharge? Is it really related to gynecological diseases? Next, this article will introduce you to the relevant content in this regard. Friends who are interested can take a look!

Normal leucorrhea has a certain self-cleaning ability for the vagina. It can remove bacteria and other substances in the vagina that endanger the safety of the female vagina, thereby protecting the female vagina and protecting the female gynecological safety. The occurrence of gynecological diseases can have a great impact on women's lives, and the occurrence of abnormal leucorrhea often indicates that women suffer from certain gynecological diseases.

Under normal circumstances, the vagina and vulva often have a small amount of secretions to keep them moist, which is called leucorrhea. It is composed of vaginal mucosal exudates, cervical glands and endometrial secretions, and contains vaginal epithelial exfoliated cells and white blood cells. Normal leucorrhea is white and odorless, and its quantity and quality are related to changes in the body's physiological condition. If the secretion volume increases or the characteristics are abnormal, it is called pathological leucorrhea or abnormal leucorrhea.

What happens if there is black blood in the vaginal discharge? Experts say that black vaginal discharge actually appears 1-2 days before and after the menstrual period. It is not that the vaginal discharge is really black, but that there is residual menstrual blood in the vaginal discharge. However, there are also abnormal vaginal discharge, with varying amounts of blood mixed in the vaginal discharge. It may be caused by cervical polyps, uterine fibroids, severe cervicitis or intrauterine contraceptive devices. If it appears for a long time or the amount of bleeding gradually increases, you should be alert to the possibility of cancer.

If the amount of leucorrhea increases, is yellow or yellow-green, pus-like, and has a foul odor, and if this situation persists for a long time, it is necessary to rule out the possibility of vaginal foreign body and consider possible causes such as vaginitis, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, endometrial lesions, tumors, etc.

To determine whether you have vaginitis or other diseases, you should seek medical attention in time and follow the doctor's advice. Do not blindly judge or treat yourself, because sometimes if women exercise too much or are overly tired and cause pelvic congestion, or if they are in the ovulation period, there will be a temporary increase in vaginal discharge. This requires us to pay more attention to gynecological examinations in our daily lives.

From the above introduction, we can see that black vaginal discharge with blood is not necessarily a gynecological inflammation. If it occurs before or after menstruation, this situation is likely to occur. In this case, black vaginal discharge with blood is normal. If you have black vaginal discharge with blood but not before or after your period, it is likely caused by a gynecological disease and you should seek medical attention immediately!
