Causes of blood in leucorrhea

I believe all female friends know about leucorrhea. It usually occurs before or after menstruation, and excretes some excrement, but abnormal leucorrhea is often a stubborn problem that troubles female friends. For example, the presence of blood in leucorrhea is also a common symptom, which often worries female friends. So what is the reason for the presence of blood in leucorrhea? Let’s take a look at it together below.

Normal leucorrhea is white and odorless, and its quantity and quality are related to changes in the body's physiological condition. Before menstruation, not only will there be leucorrhea, but it will usually increase in volume. When menstruation is about to come, pelvic congestion increases, and blood flow to the cervix and vagina is greater than usual. Therefore, vaginal secretions will naturally increase. After women enter puberty, their ovarian function tends to mature. Under the influence of hormones secreted by the ovaries, vaginal epithelial cells will be regenerated and shed regularly, and the vaginal wall can secrete a small amount of fluid;

The mucous glands of the cervix also change periodically under the influence of ovarian endocrine secretions and secrete transparent mucus. These epithelial cells, mucus, and fluid mix together and flow out of the vagina in an egg white-like state, which is leucorrhea. You are currently approaching your period, so a little redness is normal. Generally speaking, the main cause of bloody leucorrhea is cervical disease. Normal leucorrhea should be milky white or colorless and transparent, with a slightly fishy smell or no smell. Its secretion amount and texture are affected by the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body.

If there is blood in the leucorrhea, you should be alert to the possibility of malignant tumors such as cervical cancer and endometrial cancer. However, cervical polyps, cervical erosion, submucosal fibroids, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, etc. Generally speaking, cervical diseases can easily cause infertility if they are not cured in time.

The above article introduces in detail the reasons why there is blood in leucorrhea. I believe everyone has understood it, especially female friends. Gynecological diseases are often a nightmare for female friends, so disease prevention should start with small details. Leucorrhea is one of the most common symptoms of disease. Care for women, care for life. We must take it seriously.
