Vaginal bleeding before your period

Vaginal bleeding at any time except during menstruation can cause great panic in women, because the female body is a body structure that is prone to gynecological diseases, so vaginal bleeding is likely to be a harbinger of gynecological diseases. Before menstruation, women's bodies will have many uncomfortable reactions. For example, breast pain is a problem that all women will encounter. But what if you notice vaginal bleeding before your period?

What causes vaginal bleeding a week before period?

(1) Vaginal bleeding in the week before menstruation may be caused by luteal hypoplasia of the female ovaries after ovulation, or premature atrophy of the corpus luteum, resulting in insufficient secretion of estrogen and progesterone in the female body. The endometrium cannot be well maintained due to lack of hormones, resulting in small pieces of endometrium shedding. This situation mostly occurs in older, menopausal women whose ovarian function has obviously declined.

(2) If a woman has cervical polyps, cervical ectropion, or cervical erosion, she may experience irregular vaginal bleeding due to these conditions. Therefore, vaginal bleeding one week before menstruation is not a strange thing.

(3) If a woman has just had a contraceptive device such as an IUD inserted, she may experience irregular vaginal bleeding after her first sexual intercourse. If this sexual intercourse occurs one week before her period, this can explain why she has vaginal bleeding one week before her period. Women do not need to be too nervous about this and can simply take appropriate hygiene care measures.

(4) This situation may be implantation bleeding caused by the fertilized egg after a woman becomes pregnant. However, at this time, the woman's early pregnancy signs have not yet appeared, so she does not know that she is about to become pregnant and become a mother. At this time, it is recommended to wait a few days and use an early pregnancy test to test whether she has successfully become pregnant. Try to welcome the arrival of the baby with a relaxed attitude.
