Red sticky vaginal discharge is not blood

Secretion is a normal physiological representation of women. Generally speaking, normal leucorrhea should be milky white, sometimes transparent, sometimes thick and odorless. So, why is the secretion bright red? Experts emphasize: bright red secretion generally refers to leucorrhea with blood. It is normal for girls to have this kind of situation during their ovulation period. In addition, some gynecological diseases can also cause leucorrhea with blood. The secretions are bright red, which is actually leucorrhea with blood. Some may be dark brown, coffee-colored, or contain blood. The larger the amount, the more it is like monthly settlement.

The thick red discharge is not blood. The thick red discharge is abnormal uterine bleeding, which is a common symptom of female reproductive diseases.

1. Physiological pregnancy-related diseases, such as ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage and trophoblastic disease;

2. Consider abnormal uterine bleeding caused by changes in the endocrine function of the uterus and ovaries, such as abnormal uterine bleeding caused by ovulatory disorders, and abnormal uterine bleeding caused by follicle rupture and temporary decrease in estrogen levels during menstruation;

3. Genital inflammation such as vaginitis, cervicitis and endometritis, sexual organ tumors such as uterine fibroids, cervical cancer and endometrial cancer, etc.

4. If the patient is an adolescent woman, factors such as refractory thrombocytopenic purpura, sepsis, aplastic anemia, and damage to liver function tests should also be considered.

Common causes of leucorrhea with blood:

1. Vaginitis: Vaginitis is mostly caused by poor discharge. If it is bloody, it is because the vaginal mucosa is damaged. However, it is mostly temporary and can heal on its own once the inflammation is cured.

2. Cervicitis and cervical lesions: This is a very common cause. If there is inflammation, it will manifest as cervical erosion, cysts, etc., and there will be a small amount of bleeding, or bleeding after intercourse. In such a situation, cervical cancer must be eliminated before treatment. Generally, through TCT, colposcopy biopsy and other methods, if it is cervical lesions or precancerous lesions, the treatment is different from cervicitis. This requires seeking assistance from a specialist.

3. Uterine wall problems: such as uterine polyps, cervical fibroids, hyperplasia, endometrial cancer, cesarean section incision diverticulum, etc. Most of these bleeding last for a long time and can be detected through B-ultrasound or MRI. Treatment can be through hysteroscopy or other surgical treatments.

4. Endocrine problems: Common problems include corpus luteum insufficiency, ovarian failure, and hypothyroidism. Endocrine hormone assessment is required and targeted treatment is then provided.

5. There is also a type that is actually not vaginal bleeding, but bleeding from the perineum or anus. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish and may be mistaken for leucorrhea.

Generally speaking, the causes of blood in leucorrhea vary in severity. It may be just a common inflammation that can be cured by taking medicine, or it may be cancer. Therefore, we recommend that if you have such a condition, go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time, and don't delay if you have cancer.
