Causes of vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain in girls

Many young girls have told us that sometimes they inexplicably discovered the appearance of their vagina, and sometimes they even had a slight stomachache, and they didn't know why. This is not only incomprehensible to many boys, who think that girls are too delicate, but sometimes even their girlfriends cannot understand it, because most of the time this situation only occurs during menstruation. So, what causes vaginal bleeding accompanied by abdominal pain?

1. Dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea is divided into primary and secondary dysmenorrhea. Primary pain is often seen in adolescent girls. It is related to the level of prostaglandins in the body, cold, emotional and psychological factors, but there is no organic disease. It can generally heal itself with age or after marriage and childbirth. Common causes of secondary pain are endometriosis and adenomyosis. The symptoms include gradually increasing pain, often in a cyclical pattern, or dull pain in the lower abdomen during non-menstrual periods that worsens before and after menstruation. In addition, it is often accompanied by infertility and menstrual disorders, which often require drug treatment.

2. Ovulation abdominal pain

When adolescent girls ovulate, the follicle ruptures and the follicular fluid may have a certain stimulating effect on the peritoneum, so they sometimes experience mild abdominal pain that alternates between the left and right sides once a month. This is physiological, and the symptoms are mostly unilateral lower abdominal pain, dull pain or heaviness-like pain. Some girls also have a small amount of vaginal bleeding, that is, ovulation bleeding, which usually disappears on its own after one or two days, and generally does not exceed seven days. This type of abdominal pain usually does not cause any pathological changes, and the gynecological examination is completely normal. It is physiological abdominal pain and generally does not require treatment.

3. Ovarian cyst pedicle torsion or rupture

This is because the cyst has a long pedicle, a large volume, no adhesions to the surrounding area, and is highly mobile, and twists when affected by intestinal peristalsis or changes in body position. When the pedicle of an ovarian tumor is twisted, pain suddenly occurs on one side of the lower abdomen, which is persistent colic, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting; there may be obvious tenderness and muscle tension in the abdomen; digital rectal examination may reveal swollen and tender appendages. Ovarian cysts may also rupture, and the contents of the cysts may irritate the peritoneum and cause severe pain. B-ultrasound examination can confirm the diagnosis. Emergency surgery is usually required.

According to the above statements, we know that there are three main reasons why girls experience vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain. You can roughly judge the cause based on your symptoms. If it is not serious, you can ignore it. If it happens often, it is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for examination to see if you have any disease and then receive treatment.
