Why is there a small amount of bleeding that is not during menstruation?

Many women bleed a small amount when they are not menstruating. For this situation, experts recommend diagnosis and treatment, which can help patients receive treatment and avoid worsening of the condition, thereby affecting the patient's health. So why does a small amount of bleeding occur when it is not menstruation? Let's ask an expert to introduce this issue.

1. After artificial abortion or miscarriage: Generally, vaginal bleeding will stop about 3-7 days after artificial abortion or miscarriage. In very few people, bleeding may be prolonged due to physical weakness, fatigue, etc., but this needs to be judged by a doctor. If there are no special circumstances and vaginal bleeding lasts longer, after excluding intraoperative injuries, cervical inflammation and the like, it is very likely that there are residual tumors in the uterus. The doctor will then decide whether to use medication or uterine curettage after examination. Otherwise, after a period of time, the residual fetal membrane tissue may turn into choriocarcinoma.

2. Delayed menstruation: If menstruation is delayed for 7-10 days before bleeding occurs, do not think that it is definitely late menstruation. You should pay attention to whether the amount, color, and duration of bleeding are the same as normal menstruation. If the menstrual blood is sometimes more and sometimes less, and is constantly flowing, and is accompanied by abdominal pain, you should pay attention to the possibility of ectopic pregnancy or threatened abortion; if the bleeding is more than usual, lasts longer, and dysmenorrhea is obvious, it is more common in uterine fibroids or endometriosis.

3. The phenomenon of vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse is called contact bleeding, which is often related to gynecological diseases such as vaginitis, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, early cervical cancer, submucosal myoma, etc.

4. Ovulation bleeding: People often hear the term ovulation bleeding. Western medicine calls it ovulation bleeding, while traditional Chinese medicine calls it intermenstrual bleeding. This is due to a temporary drop in estrogen levels, which causes the endometrium to lose hormonal support and partially shed, causing regular vaginal bleeding. The amount of this bleeding is not much. Some people only have a small amount of brown secretion. It usually lasts for half a day or 2-3 days, and no more than 7 days at most. It may be accompanied by mild ovulation pain and back pain.

The above is the problem that the expert introduced to us. Only by following the above methods can we ensure the safety of the patient and avoid putting the patient in danger. Therefore, the patient must consult an expert in time for treatment. Finally, I wish the patient a speedy recovery.
