What causes blood in vaginal discharge?

If your vaginal discharge contains blood, you must pay special attention to it, because this problem will not occur under normal circumstances, and this problem will more or less induce the occurrence of disease, especially it may be a precursor to serious disease. Only timely treatment can the problem be resolved. For example, uterine cancer, the first symptom of this tumor disease is vaginal bleeding.

1. What is the reason for bloody secretions?

Female friends, if you find that your vaginal discharge contains blood, you must be careful. This condition can be mild or severe. It may be caused by mild vaginal inflammation, or it may be the cause of a serious disease, such as endometrial cancer.

Severe cervical erosion. The main symptoms are increased vaginal discharge, which is yellow, sticky and has a foul odor, accompanied by vulvar itching, bleeding during sexual intercourse, lumbar pain, dysmenorrhea, etc.

Senile vaginitis. Clinical manifestations include increased vaginal discharge that is light yellow in color, and in severe cases, bloody and purulent leucorrhea.

Cervical cancer. There is a small amount of bleeding or increased vaginal discharge after sexual intercourse.

Endometrial cancer. The clinical manifestations are irregular bleeding, with the amount of bleeding varying from time to time. Premenopausal women may have heavy menstrual flow and prolonged duration, while postmenopausal women may experience postmenopausal bleeding.

2. Bloody discharge may be ovulation bleeding

After one week of menstruation, it is usually the ovulation period. Due to the temporary drop in estrogen levels, the endometrium loses hormonal support and some endometrium falls off, causing regular vaginal bleeding, which is called ovulation bleeding. If there is a small amount of blood in the leucorrhea at this time, it is normal.

3. Bloody secretions may be caused by mild endocrine disorders

Occasionally, bloody vaginal discharge may be related to mood changes, work pressure, environmental changes, etc.

Is brown blood in vaginal discharge normal?

Brown vaginal discharge with blood after pregnancy: Many women will experience bloody vaginal discharge during pregnancy. You must not be careless at this time and should be alert to the possibility of threatened miscarriage. In addition, it cannot be ruled out that abnormal bleeding is caused by some gynecological diseases, such as cervicitis, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, cervical cancer, etc.

Although women's vaginal discharge generally increases during ovulation, especially during the reproductive period. However, if there is blood in the leucorrhea or it appears brown, it is considered abnormal leucorrhea and may be caused by some diseases. The presence of blood in the leucorrhea indicates bleeding in the female reproductive organs.

The first may be an infectious disease. Common ones include candidal vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, gonococcal infection, etc., which can usually be treated in time. Another cause is abnormal leucorrhea caused by cervical disease. The most common are cervical erosion and cervical polyps. In addition, diseases such as chronic endometritis and tuberculosis infection can also cause blood in leucorrhea. If not treated in time, it can also lead to uterine adhesions and fallopian tube obstruction. Therefore, if women find that their leucorrhea has the above abnormal conditions, they should seek medical attention in time.

The composition of normal leucorrhea is a mixture of vaginal mucosal exudates, cervical secretions and some endometrial secretions, and it has no odor. This is related to the estrogen level in the body and the degree of genital congestion.

How to understand private secretions

The cycle starts from the first day of menarche, and it is difficult to distinguish normal secretions from menstrual blood in the first few days. After my period, I felt very dry, that is, I didn’t feel any discharge and there were no marks on my underwear. In fact, although nothing is discovered, the vagina still regulates its moisture by itself through desquamation of the inner wall and the leakage of secretions. At this time, the cervix has no mucus and is acidic, so sperm cannot survive here.

After a few days, it was close to ovulation. The cervix begins to secrete mucus that flows into the uterus to lubricate the uterine wall and create a good environment for sperm. At this time, the secretions increase and flow out of the vagina, and traces can be seen on the underwear. The panties were soaked and the labia majora and minora were very wet. If you want to observe the secretions, wipe the vulva with toilet paper and you will find that the secretions are white, light yellow, sticky, clear and shiny, sometimes seem to be light cream color, and the amount is not large.

As ovulation approaches, the secretions increase and become clear and sticky. I took a little and observed it, and found that it was sticky and elastic like lubricant.

Immediately after ovulation, the mucus changes again and feels dry again, or the secretions become coagulated. The mucous membrane covers the cervix and there is almost no secretion.
