What is the cause of bleeding during ovulation?

We all know that for many families preparing to have a baby, the ovulation period is a particularly important period. The conception rate during this period is also very high. Many families planning to have a baby will never miss this period. However, many people have experienced symptoms of ovulation bleeding during this period, and are afraid that pregnancy in this situation will affect the health of the fetus. Let's take a look at what is going on with ovulation bleeding.

What is the cause of bleeding during ovulation?

Experts say that the reason for ovulation bleeding is that after a couple has sex during ovulation, the estrogen level drops briefly, which causes the woman's endometrium to lose hormonal support, causing part of the endometrium to fall off and cause regular vaginal bleeding. This situation is called post-ovulation bleeding.

The amount of bleeding during ovulation is relatively small, sometimes only brown secretions, and it lasts for a relatively short time, usually stopping on its own in 2-3 days, and up to 7 days. If a woman can ovulate normally during the period of bleeding after ovulation, she may still get pregnant and the fetus may not necessarily be abnormal. However, it is very important to identify the bleeding phenomenon, because gynecological inflammation, damage to the vaginal endometrium, cervical erosion, etc. can cause bleeding after intercourse. Bleeding caused by this situation must be treated in time to avoid serious consequences.

Does bleeding after ovulation affect pregnancy?

The issue that everyone is most concerned about is how ovulation bleeding will affect fertility, whether ovulation bleeding will affect pregnancy, or whether you can still have sex during ovulation bleeding.

Ovulation bleeding occurs because the ovarian follicle ruptures and the estrogen level temporarily drops, causing changes in vascular permeability and red blood cells to leak out of the blood vessels. If the bleeding happens occasionally, it is normal. However, if the amount of bleeding is heavy or the bleeding occurs frequently, you should see a doctor.

In other words, as long as the amount of blood discharge is not too large, you can still have sex, and because it is ovulating, it is easy to get pregnant. However, before having sex, it is best for the man to clean his penis to ensure healthy and hygienic intercourse.

So, generally speaking, ovulation bleeding will not affect pregnancy, but many couples may stop having sex due to ovulation bleeding and miss the opportunity to conceive; or it may not be normal ovulation bleeding, but some disease may be the cause. This may have a certain impact on pregnancy.

But it is important to note that you must make sure to rule out other diseases of the reproductive system, such as menstrual disorders, cervicitis, cervical cancer and other diseases. Because if you have these diseases, the amount of bleeding during ovulation will be heavier and it will occur more frequently, which can easily affect the sexual life of the couple. In this case, conception is very unfavorable and the possibility of infertility cannot be ruled out.

What to do if you have ovulation bleeding?

If ovulation bleeding occurs occasionally, it is not harmful to the body. Most of the time it is due to excessive fatigue or low immunity, which affects the endocrine balance. All you need to do is pay attention to conditioning.

In addition, for friends who are planning to have a baby, if you have a small amount of bleeding during the ovulation period, remember to grasp the timing, because you are ovulating at this time, you can get pregnant at this time, don't miss the opportunity to have sex with your husband.

However, if ovulation bleeding occurs frequently, it should be considered to be caused by endocrine disorders. At this time, you can use some estrogen supplement drugs under the guidance of a doctor. Once the amount of bleeding is too much, even exceeding the normal menstrual volume, you need to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination in time to rule out other organic diseases.

If ovulation bleeding exceeds normal menstrual volume and lasts for more than 2 weeks, it is best to do six hormone tests on the 2nd to 5th day of menstruation, and do a vaginal B-ultrasound examination 3-5 days after the end of menstruation, and then do a progesterone test on the 21st day of menstruation to clarify endocrine and ovarian function, make a clear diagnosis, and provide symptomatic treatment.
