What is the cause of red menstrual discharge?

Leucorrhea is something every woman will have. It is a secretion discharged from the vagina. Under normal circumstances, the amount is small, and it is egg white-like, sticky, and has no odor. Many female friends think that leucorrhea is very dirty, so they will try their best to wash it. In fact, this concept is wrong. Normal leucorrhea still has a protective effect on the vagina. Once there is a problem with leucorrhea, such as redness, watery, leucorrhea with an odor, etc., it means that it is reminding us that there is a gynecological lesion and we must pay attention to it.

Leucorrhea with blood is medically called bloody leucorrhea, and there is blood mixed in the leucorrhea. You should be alert to the possibility of malignant tumors such as cervical cancer and endometrial cancer. However, benign lesions such as cervical polyps, cervical erosion, submucosal myoma, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, urethral caruncle, senile vaginitis, etc. can also cause bloody leucorrhea. Bloody leucorrhea with blood streaks caused by intrauterine contraceptive devices is also common. Pathological bloody leucorrhea is generally caused by the following diseases:

1. Cervical diseases: cervical cancer, cervical polyps, cervical tuberculosis, cervicitis, endometritis;

2. Gynecological tumors: submucosal uterine fibroids, benign or malignant tumors;

3. Gynecological inflammation: senile vaginitis.

4. In addition, sometimes due to the placement of an intrauterine contraceptive ring, there may be some blood mixed in the leucorrhea.

It is recommended to go to the gynecology department for examination and treatment in time. If you do have vaginitis, you need anti-inflammatory treatment. You cannot have sex during the treatment period. It is best to pay attention to local hygiene at ordinary times.

With the above knowledge, we can distinguish between normal and abnormal leucorrhea, so as to protect our own health. Due to the particularity of the physiological structure, women's reproductive organs are more susceptible to infection. Therefore, we must pay attention to personal hygiene in daily work and life, and pay attention to the reminders of the body to ourselves. Don't ignore them and cause unnecessary trouble.
