Some women have red vaginal discharge during ovulation. What's going on? How to prevent and treat abnormal vaginal discharge? If you want to know more, please read on.

Normal leucorrhea is usually translucent or creamy, odorless, or even slightly yellow, and the amount of leucorrhea changes with your menstrual cycle. But sometimes the leucorrhea is red during ovulation. What's going on? How can we prevent and treat abnormal leucorrhea in daily life? The following will introduce them one by one for your reference.

What is the reason for red vaginal discharge during ovulation?

There are many reasons why leucorrhea turns red during ovulation. This may be a normal phenomenon or it may be caused by a disease. The following are four common factors.

1. Unstable hormone levels

The appearance of red vaginal discharge during ovulation during the menstrual cycle may be due to the increase in hormone levels causing the unexpected shedding of the endometrium (only a small part), resulting in bleeding. The red vaginal discharge during ovulation may only last for a few hours and will not last too long.

2. Pelvic inflammatory disease

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a serious infection of the organs in the upper reproductive tract (uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries). In most cases, PID is caused by a type of bacterial infection that can affect the uterus and cause red vaginal discharge. Red vaginal discharge during ovulation is very serious. If it lasts for a long time, you need to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.

3. Follicle rupture

A ruptured follicle is a common cause of bleeding during ovulation, when the ovaries are very active in preparation for ovulation. Before the egg enters the fallopian tube, the follicle will rupture, leaving a hole or a gap for the egg to pass through and enter the fallopian tube, causing slight bleeding, and the blood will be discharged from the body along with the uterine mucus and vaginal secretions. During the process, the blood is decomposed by gases and gas chemicals and turns red, so the leucorrhea during ovulation is red.

4. Pregnancy

It is normal to have red vaginal discharge or spotting when your period is expected in early pregnancy. If you have a normal cycle, red vaginal discharge when you ovulate, and you have recently been trying to conceive or have had unprotected sex, you should take a pregnancy test. Hormonal changes in early pregnancy may cause a slight shedding of the uterine lining, which is nothing to worry about. If you are pregnant and have had red vaginal discharge for 4-6 days, it is best to see a doctor and rule out the possibility of miscarriage.
