Causes of black and red vaginal discharge

As we all know, there are great differences between women and men's bodies, especially the reproductive system. Women need to have a detailed understanding of their physical condition, and the condition of leucorrhea needs to be checked regularly. Some women find that their leucorrhea has turned black and red, which is a more serious problem. Next, we will introduce to you in detail the common causes of black and red leucorrhea.

Under normal circumstances, the amount of leucorrhea will not be too much. If the characteristics of leucorrhea, such as quality, quantity, color, and odor, change abnormally, it means that it is a manifestation of a certain disease. For girls, abnormal leucorrhea is more common in vulvovaginal inflammation, such as purulent bacterial infection. The amount of leucorrhea increases, and it is yellow or yellow-green, pus-like, and has a foul odor. If this situation persists for a long time, the possibility of vaginal foreign body needs to be ruled out. In case of fungal and trichomonal infections, the leucorrhea is grayish white and foamy. Taking estrogen drugs to regulate menstruation may cause a large amount of colorless and transparent mucus leucorrhea. Sometimes excessive exercise and fatigue can cause pelvic congestion, which can also lead to a temporary increase in vaginal discharge.

The dark red color of leucorrhea is because it contains blood, which may be caused by gynecological diseases such as cervical polyps, acute vaginitis, and cervical erosion.

1. Cervical polyps: Cervical polyps usually occur in married women. The clinical manifestations are generally: a small amount of spotting, a small amount of bleeding after sexual intercourse, and a small number of women also have leucorrhea with an odor and blood.

2. Acute vaginitis: Vaginitis is a common gynecological inflammation. Its clinical manifestations are generally: increased vaginal discharge, frequent urination, urgency, black blood in the vaginal discharge, and itching, burning or pain in the vulva.

3. Cervical erosion: Cervical erosion is also a common gynecological disease. The main clinical manifestations are: increased leucorrhea, purulent leucorrhea, and blood. In addition, it is accompanied by low back pain, abdominal pain, and heaviness in the lower abdomen, which can cause contact bleeding during sexual intercourse.

The above content is an introduction to the reasons why leucorrhea is black and red. Generally speaking, we all need to undergo regular check-ups so that we can receive treatment as early as possible in the early stages of the disease. This is because many diseases worsen due to delaying the best time for treatment. A woman’s leucorrhea condition is closely related to her body, so she must take it seriously.
