What if there is a little blood in the leucorrhea?

Leucorrhea is a colorless and transparent secretion from the female vagina, so when there is blood in the leucorrhea, it means that there is a problem with the female body, and it may induce a series of gynecological diseases. It may also be caused by normal physiological phenomena. There are two situations. If the leucorrhea contains blood for a long time, then it is pathological. If it is short-term and occurs occasionally, then there is no need to worry.

1. Physiological, that is, ovulation bleeding. It usually occurs between two menstrual periods or about 14 days before the next menstrual period. Some women experience bleeding during ovulation due to changes in hormone levels, which causes the endometrium to shed. Generally the amount is not large and it will get better on its own after a day or two.

2. Pathological. There are many reasons why leucorrhea with blood is caused by disease. For example: damage to the vaginal wall, cervical lesions, endometrial lesions, or endocrine disorders, etc. Vaginal wall injuries are mostly caused by trauma, which can be treated according to the severity of the injury; cervical lesions include cervical erosion, cervical cysts, cervical polyps, cervical cancer, etc., which are all causes of bleeding. Most manifestations are contact bleeding. In short, as to why there is blood in the leucorrhea, experts point out that in order to confirm whether it is caused by these reasons, it is necessary to conduct examinations through colposcopy and cervical scraping, and treat according to the severity of the disease; bleeding caused by endometrial cancer and uterine fibroids is also not uncommon, and the amount of bleeding will be larger. The bleeding time caused by uterine fibroids will be longer, and it may be a few days to more than ten days. Endometrial cancer can be diagnosed through endometrial scraping and blood test, and uterine fibroids can be diagnosed through B-ultrasound.
