What is the reason for vaginal bleeding when menstruation is not coming?

Female friends will more or less experience some non-menstrual vaginal bleeding from the time of menstruation in adolescence to after menopause in old age. Bleeding may occur in any part of the genitals. These are all manifestations of vaginal bleeding. Non-vaginal bleeding is just a symptom. As for what disease causes it, you must go to the hospital for diagnosis in time.

This phenomenon may be a warning of a disease. Under normal circumstances, women will not have vaginal bleeding outside of menstruation. If abnormal vaginal bleeding occurs, no matter how much bleeding, or how long it lasts, you should seek medical attention promptly and not take it lightly. At the same time, you should also learn to observe the time, duration, amount, color of bleeding, and whether there are other accompanying symptoms. So, what are the possible causes of this non-menstrual vaginal bleeding? What tests are needed to diagnose the cause?

There are many causes of non-menstrual vaginal bleeding, such as: ovarian endocrine dysfunction, abnormal pregnancy, foreign bodies in the uterine cavity (such as contraceptive rings), genital tract inflammation, tumors, injuries, or systemic diseases. Age has important reference value for the identification of vaginal bleeding. When vaginal bleeding occurs in adolescent women, dysfunctional uterine bleeding is first considered; when it occurs in women of childbearing age, pregnancy-related diseases are often considered; and when it occurs in postmenopausal women (elderly women), malignant tumors are often considered.

Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is abnormal uterine bleeding caused by dysfunction of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis. Anovulatory bleeding occurs during puberty or menopause. Bleeding may occur after a period of amenorrhea. Bleeding may also be irregular, with varying amounts, duration, and intervals. Some patients may only experience increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstrual periods.

If a sexually active woman of childbearing age experiences non-menstrual vaginal bleeding, we must first suspect or rule out pregnancy. If menstruation still does not come as expected and vaginal bleeding occurs, you must go to the hospital immediately for treatment. Common conditions include miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy.
