There is always a small amount of blood after menstruation

We all know that women's menstruation does not come and go all at once. It is a slow process. When it comes, the amount may be relatively small, and it may increase one or two days after it comes. As time goes by, after five or six days, the amount of menstruation will become less and then disappear. However, some women will still have a small amount of bleeding after menstruation. What causes this?

It could be functional uterine bleeding. There is no need to be overly nervous. For most women, the bleeding will disappear spontaneously as the menstrual cycle stabilizes. If it recurs or there is heavy bleeding, you can go to the hospital for treatment. Functional uterine bleeding, now referred to as "dysfunctional uterine bleeding" in medicine. "Dysfunctional uterine bleeding" is a common gynecological disease. In cases of menstrual irregularities, examination of the internal and external genitalia shows no obvious organic lesions, excluding pregnancy, tumors, inflammation, trauma or systemic hemorrhagic diseases. Abnormal uterine bleeding caused by dysfunction of the neuroendocrine function regulating reproduction is called functional uterine bleeding, or DUB for short. The Chinese medical name is "menglou". Clinically, functional uterine bleeding is divided into two types: anovulatory and ovulatory.

Young women with functional uterine bleeding have the following symptoms"

(1) Irregular uterine bleeding. Menstruation is early or late, with no regularity at all.

(2) Frequent menstruation. The menstrual cycle is shortened, generally less than 21 days, and the amount of bleeding and number of bleeding days are normal.

(3) Excessive menstrual flow. The menstrual cycle is normal, but the amount of bleeding each time is excessive, reaching hundreds of milliliters.

(4) Prolonged menstrual bleeding. Some women have normal menstrual cycles, but they may have a small amount of bleeding for several days before their period, and the bleeding is often dark in color. The bleeding continues for several days after their period, and may continue for more than ten days before and after their period.

(5) Ovulation bleeding. About 10 days after the menstruation ends, a small amount of bleeding begins to flow out of the vagina, sometimes stopping in a day or two. This is called ovulation bleeding.

Age range of common occurrence: 1. Ovulatory functional uterine bleeding: reproductive age is about 16-45 years old 2. Anovulatory functional uterine bleeding ① Adolescent functional uterine bleeding: adolescence is about 12-16 years old ② Menopausal functional uterine bleeding

Age: Perimenopause, about 45-55 years old
