Basic knowledge about bright red vaginal bleeding

It is not the menstrual period, but there is vaginal bleeding with bright red color. Many female friends do not know what other reasons may cause vaginal bleeding besides menstrual bleeding. Now please follow me to learn about other reasons that may cause vaginal bleeding with bright red color besides menstrual bleeding. I hope all female friends should have some knowledge about it.

1. Vaginal bleeding

Vaginal bleeding is a common symptom of female reproductive organ diseases. Bleeding can come from the vulva, vagina, cervix and endometrium, but most often comes from the uterus. Although vaginal bleeding can be life-threatening, if it is caused by a benign disease, the prognosis is good; and if the amount of bleeding is small, it may also be the earliest symptom of a malignant tumor. If it is ignored, treatment will be delayed, leading to adverse consequences.

2. Physical therapy

Vaginal bleeding refers to bleeding from any part of the reproductive tract, and its bleeding manifestations can be divided into menorrhagia and prolonged menstruation. Irregular bleeding or contact bleeding, etc., the amount of bleeding can be more or less. Vaginal bleeding can be divided into the following categories according to different causes:

(1) Endocrine-related bleeding: neonatal vaginal bleeding, bleeding related to contraceptives, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, intermenstrual bleeding, postmenopausal uterine bleeding, etc.

(ii) Bleeding related to pregnancy: threatened abortion, incomplete abortion, ectopic pregnancy, placenta previa, placental abruption, hydatidiform mole, choriocarcinoma, etc.

3. Bleeding related to inflammation:

1. Vulvar bleeding: seen in vulvar ulcers, urethral caruncle, etc.

2. Vaginal bleeding: seen in vaginal ulcers, vaginitis, especially senile vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, etc.

3. Cervical bleeding: seen in acute and chronic cervicitis, cervical erosion, cervical ulcer, cervical polyps, etc.

4. Uterine bleeding: seen in acute and chronic endometritis, chronic myometritis, acute and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, etc.

4. Tumor-related bleeding:

1. Irregular vaginal bleeding in young girls: seen in botryoid sarcoma.

2. Vaginal bleeding in middle-aged and older women: more common in uterine fibroids.

3. Middle-aged or postmenopausal women with contact or irregular bleeding due to cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, functional ovarian tumors, etc.

5. Bleeding related to trauma:

1. Bleeding caused by trauma.

2. Postcoital bleeding: seen in rupture of the hymen, vaginal wall or posterior fornix.

(VI) Bleeding related to systemic diseases: seen in liver disease, aplastic anemia, thrombocytopenic purpura, and disseminated intravascular coagulation complicated by gynecological and obstetric diseases.

3. Vaginal bleeding needs to be checked

Pay attention to the general condition, including anemia, bleeding tendency, lymphadenopathy, and thyroid enlargement. During a gynecological examination, the vagina and cervix should be carefully inspected, and attention should be paid to the source of bleeding. During bimanual and triple examinations, attention should be paid to the size, hardness, and smoothness of the uterus, any cervical lifting pain, and any lumps or tenderness on either side of the uterus. For unmarried patients, only anal examination is generally performed, but when there is a high suspicion of a tumor, a vaginal examination should also be performed.

IV. Precautions

Conduct regular censuses of female workers and female students living in collectives, improve public health facilities in factories and schools, strengthen health education, and pay attention to personal hygiene and menstrual hygiene. Female condoms also have a good preventive effect. In addition, the weak acidic environment of the vagina can maintain the self-cleaning function of the vagina. The normal human pH is 3.7-4.5. Therefore, the weak acid formula of female care liquid is suitable for daily cleaning and maintenance, and will inhibit the growth and reproduction of mold. When going to the toilet outside, use feminine hygiene wipes to wipe the vulva and keep it dry.

The above is all the common sense about bright red vaginal bleeding. In addition to vaginal injury and normal ovulation bleeding, other causes of bleeding may be caused by gynecological inflammation and cervical diseases. If you cannot judge the cause of the bleeding, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time and let the doctor make a judgment for you.
