Ovulation bleeding means the egg is dead

Ovulation bleeding is a relatively common phenomenon and is also one of the symptoms of women during ovulation. Of course, there are also many people who believe that bleeding during ovulation means that the egg is dead. In fact, the occurrence of ovulation does not mean that the egg is dead. There are many reasons that lead to ovulation bleeding, such as yin deficiency, decreased estrogen levels, etc. Next, I will introduce to you some relevant knowledge about ovulation bleeding!

1. Does bleeding during ovulation mean that the egg is dead?

Ovulation bleeding does not mean that the egg is dead. During the ovulation period, the follicles mature and ovulate, and the level of estrogen secreted decreases. The lower level of estrogen cannot maintain the normal state of the endometrium, resulting in partial shedding of the endometrium, which manifests as vaginal bleeding or bloody secretions. Generally, no treatment is required. After entering the luteal phase, the estrogen and progesterone secreted by the corpus luteum can repair the endometrium and thus have a hemostatic effect. If ovulation bleeding occurs for 4-5 consecutive menstrual cycles, you can take a small dose of estrogen for supplementation.

2. Causes of ovulation bleeding

1. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the main cause of intermenstrual bleeding is Yin deficiency, liver depression, damp heat, blood stasis, spleen deficiency, etc., which cause the Chong and Ren meridians to be disturbed during the period of stasis and the blood sea is not solid.

2. Western medicine believes that after the follicles mature and ovulate, the estrogen level will drop significantly. For some women, the lower estrogen level cannot maintain the growth of the endometrium, causing local shedding of the endometrium and a small amount of breakthrough bleeding. However, under normal circumstances, after ovulation, with the formation of the corpus luteum, the corpus luteum secretes estrogen and progesterone, which will quickly repair the endometrium and change it to the secretory phase, allowing the endometrium to thicken and repair and the bleeding to stop.

Treatment of ovulation bleeding

Small doses of estrogen can be taken orally. For example, Progynova should be taken from the 8th to 10th day of the menstrual cycle and last for 3 to 7 days. You can also take a small amount of hemostatic drugs, such as Anluoxue. In traditional Chinese medicine treatment, according to different syndromes, oral Zhibai Dihuang Pills (yin deficiency), Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills (liver depression), Ankun Granules (damp heat), Longxuejie Tablets (blood stasis), Shenling Baizhu Powder (spleen deficiency) etc. can be taken, orally, or decoctions can be taken orally, and good results can be achieved in combination with acupuncture.
