What is the reason for occasional small amounts of blood in leucorrhea?

We all know that there are many cases of abnormal leucorrhea in women, and the reasons are also various; but many abnormal leucorrhea phenomena mean gynecological diseases, so it is important for women to pay attention to leucorrhea. Sometimes you may find that your vaginal discharge contains a small amount of blood. Most women will be shocked and scared when they find this; but because it is relatively private, few people will go to the hospital for examination and treatment. So, what is the reason for occasional small amounts of blood in leucorrhea?

The causes of changes in the color of leucorrhea include excessive mental stress, influence of external factors, endocrine disorders, taking contraceptives, gynecological diseases, etc. If there are no other discomfort symptoms, no treatment is required. Bloody leucorrhea, or leucorrhea mixed with blood, should alert you to the possibility of malignant tumors such as cervical cancer and endometrial cancer. However, bloody leucorrhea caused by cervical polyps, cervical erosion, submucosal myoma, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, urethral caruncle, and intrauterine contraceptive device is also more common.

There are two types of bloody vaginal discharge: physiological and pathological. Generally speaking, some women will experience ovulation bleeding during their ovulation period, also known as mid-menstrual bleeding, which refers to a small amount of bleeding between two normal menstrual periods, which may be accompanied by varying degrees of lower abdominal pain. If the symptoms are mild, no treatment is needed. If the bleeding is heavy or affects fertility, medication can be used for treatment.

However, if there is bloody leucorrhea, the following diseases should also be considered: (1) cervical polyps. (2) Acute vaginitis. (3) Cervical erosion. (4) Senile vaginitis. (5) Cervical cancer. (6) Submucosal uterine fibroids. (7) Endometrial cancer. In addition, sometimes due to the placement of an intrauterine contraceptive ring, there may be some blood mixed in the leucorrhea. You can go to the hospital for a check-up to see if it is normal ovulation bleeding or bleeding caused by a disease.

Now everyone should be clear that occasional small amounts of blood in leucorrhea may be due to menstruation, which is normal; it may also be caused by a disease, which should attract our attention. If you find that your leucorrhea is bloody when you are not on your menstrual period, this may be a sign of illness, so you should go to a regular hospital for a check-up in time to find out the cause.
