Bright red bleeding during ovulation

Between two menstrual periods, women enter their ovulation period. Generally speaking, the ovulation period is also the so-called safe period. Although ovulation will reduce the chance of pregnancy, it is not 100% certain. However, some women find that they experience vaginal bleeding during intercourse during their ovulation period. In fact, this situation is most likely physiological ovulation bleeding. If there are other symptoms, you should be alert to gynecological diseases.

During the period between two regular menstrual cycles, that is, the ovulation period, the estrogen level drops temporarily due to ovulation, causing the endometrium of some women to lose the support of estrogen, resulting in endometrial shedding and causing regular vaginal bleeding, which is called ovulation bleeding.

It usually occurs on the 12th to 16th day of a regular menstrual cycle, usually lasts for several hours or 2 to 3 days, no more than 7 days, and the amount is significantly less than normal menstrual bleeding, and the bleeding can stop on its own. It may be accompanied by mild lower abdominal discomfort or back pain, or there may be no accompanying discomfort. Sometimes it occurs occasionally from the current menstrual cycle to the next menstrual cycle. For some individuals, it may last for a long time, with ovulation bleeding occurring in 4 to 5 menstrual cycles.

Prognosis

Ovulation bleeding usually occurs occasionally with a small amount of bleeding, sometimes only brown discharge. Most of the time, it stops on its own within 2 to 3 days and can be observed without treatment. For women with persistent ovulatory bleeding, since it occurs during ovulation, it usually interferes with conception and requires appropriate treatment measures after excluding other diseases.
