Why is there sometimes blood in the vaginal discharge?

For female friends, normal leucorrhea should be white or transparent and have no odor. In our lives, women can judge whether they have gynecological diseases by their leucorrhea. It is quite common in our lives that leucorrhea sometimes contains blood. This makes many women feel confused and don’t know what is going on. So let us understand why leucorrhea sometimes contains blood.

What is the reason for blood in leucorrhea? 3 normal physiological reasons

There are two types of blood streaks: physiological and pathological. Generally speaking, some women will experience ovulation bleeding during their ovulation period, that is, mid-menstrual bleeding, which may be accompanied by varying degrees of lower abdominal pain. This is normal. However, if there is blood in the leucorrhea, you should also consider the possibility of gynecological diseases. If female friends are wondering why there is blood in the leucorrhea, they can make a judgment based on their own reasons:

1. Ovulation bleeding: After one week of menstruation, it is usually the ovulation period. Due to the temporary drop in estrogen levels, the endometrium loses hormonal support and part of the endometrium falls off, causing regular vaginal bleeding, which is called ovulation bleeding. If there is a small amount of blood in the leucorrhea at this time, it is normal.

2. Caused by mild endocrine disorders: Occasional bloody vaginal discharge is related to mood changes, work pressure, environmental changes, etc.

3. During pregnancy: If you don’t know whether you are pregnant, you can go to the hospital for a blood HCG test, the result is reliable.

Abnormal bleeding caused by gynecological diseases

1. Infectious diseases. Among these diseases, those accompanied by itching include candidal vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, senile vaginitis, gonococcal infection, etc. Due to the obvious symptoms, they can usually be treated in time.

2. Severe cervical erosion is one of the “culprits” of bloody leucorrhea. After a woman suffers from severe cervical erosion, she will experience symptoms such as yellow, sticky, and odorous leucorrhea, vulvar itching, lumbar pain, and bleeding during sexual intercourse. It will also lead to irregular vaginal bleeding and contact bleeding.

3. Chronic endometritis, tuberculosis infection and other diseases can also cause blood in the leucorrhea. If not treated in time, it can also lead to uterine adhesions, fallopian tube obstruction, and infertility. Cervical polyps often cause leucorrhea with blood, and bleeding often increases after sexual intercourse.

4. Tumors cause bloody vaginal discharge. Submucosal uterine fibroids are benign tumors. Because the tumor occupies a space and affects blood circulation, congestion, necrosis, ulcers, etc. often appear on the surface. In addition to irregular menstruation, there will be a small amount of bleeding during the non-menstrual period, which is often mixed in with the leucorrhea. Ovarian tumors can cause disorders in the secretion of sex hormones in the human body, sometimes causing irregular bleeding, and bleeding can also occur due to tumor damage after strenuous activities or fatigue.

5. Cervical cancer, uterine sarcoma, and fallopian tube tumors are more common in women aged 40-60 and are related to factors such as early marriage, early childbearing, multiple births, multiple sexual partners, severe cervical erosion, long-term bacterial or viral infection, and family history. Its early symptom is contact bleeding, which is mixed with blood in the leucorrhea and is watery or mucous. When accompanied by inflammation, it has a foul odor, and is often accompanied by symptoms such as general fatigue and weight loss. The diagnosis of tumors is generally not difficult. In addition to routine gynecological examinations, B-ultrasound, CT, laparoscopy and other examinations can confirm the diagnosis. Especially for those who are suspected of having tumors, they should go to the hospital for timely diagnosis and treatment without hesitation.
