What causes persistent vaginal bleeding?

Many women nowadays have some gynecological problems, most commonly vaginal problems. Many people do not have a very good understanding of these vaginal diseases, and sometimes they do not take them seriously, causing some problems that were not serious in the first place to become serious. Vaginal bleeding is an issue that many people are concerned about, so today we will discuss vaginal bleeding, a condition that many people are concerned about.

1. Generally, vaginal bleeding will stop about 3-7 days after an abortion or miscarriage. In very few people, it may be prolonged due to physical reasons.

2. Functional uterine bleeding. It is mainly caused by abnormal neuroendocrine function regulating reproduction, and its manifestations are usually irregular periods, excessive menstrual flow, prolonged menstruation or irregular bleeding.

3. If menstruation is delayed for 7-10 days, you should pay attention to whether the amount, color, and duration of bleeding are the same as normal menstruation. If the menstrual blood is sometimes more and sometimes less, and is accompanied by abdominal pain, it may be an ectopic pregnancy or threatened abortion; if the bleeding is more than usual, lasts longer, and dysmenorrhea is obvious, it is often seen in uterine fibroids or endometriosis.

4. The phenomenon of vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse is called contact bleeding, which is often related to vaginitis, cervical erosion, early cervical cancer, and other gynecological diseases.

5. Women may also experience vaginal bleeding after taking emergency contraceptive pills after having unprotected sex. The effects of emergency contraceptive pills are manifested in changes in the cycle, especially repeated use can cause menstrual disorders, bleeding, and continuous spotting.

6. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it "intermenstrual bleeding." This is due to a temporary drop in estrogen levels, which causes the endometrium to lose hormonal support and partially shed. It usually lasts for half a day or 2-3 days, accompanied by mild ovulation pain and back pain.

In short, no matter what, the vagina has always been a very important organ for women, so when vaginal bleeding occurs, everyone must pay attention to whether some of the above-mentioned phenomena occur, and must seek medical attention in time. Never let the condition worsen due to momentary inattention.
