Four things to know about non-menstrual bleeding

Generally speaking, a woman's menstrual period lasts for a week. It is well known that women's menstrual bleeding is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, according to relevant doctors, some women experience non-menstrual bleeding. So what is going on? Probably more than 80% of people know nothing about this. Please see the following related notes:

Ovulation bleeding

Many female friends panic when they encounter ovulation bleeding. In a normal woman's menstrual cycle, the 12th to 14th day is the date of ovulation. At this time, due to the rupture of the follicle and the fluctuation of estrogen, the vascular permeability changes and red blood cells leak out of the blood vessels, causing a small amount of vaginal bleeding. This is the ovulation bleeding phenomenon. What Western medicine calls ovulation bleeding is called "intermenstrual bleeding" in traditional Chinese medicine.

2. Four things to know about non-menstrual bleeding

1. The time when bleeding occurs is crucial. Occasional bleeding during ovulation is generally not a big problem. Pay attention to see if it occurs for several consecutive months.

2. If bleeding occurs after ovulation and is accompanied by mild pain in the lower abdomen, you should go for a gynecological examination to determine whether you have ovarian endocrine disorders or other diseases.

3. If there is no regularity in the bleeding time, it is quite serious and you must go to the hospital to check whether it is endometriosis, uterine fibroids, abnormal development of cervical cells, or even cervical cancer.

4. In case of heavy bleeding, the patient will usually be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment in time. The most likely thing to be treated is a small amount of bleeding that continues to occur. It is often not taken seriously, and people are embarrassed to seek medical treatment, which will delay the early diagnosis of the disease. Since bleeding can be caused by many reasons, the doctor may ask you to do cervical scraping, colposcopy, diagnostic curettage, hysteroscopy and other examinations during the consultation to clarify the diagnosis and early treatment.

Experts remind: "If you have bleeding during your non-menstrual period, you must first determine whether it is ovulation bleeding! This is to avoid mistaking it for ovulation bleeding and ignoring the early diagnosis and treatment of other diseases." Based on the above, you should always pay attention to your physical condition in your daily life, and never wait until you are seriously ill to seek medical treatment.
