What is the reason for bleeding down there when my period hasn’t come?

When a woman bleeds from her private parts, I believe the first thing that comes to mind is menstruation. Therefore, apart from this situation, I really don’t know why this situation occurs. In fact, in clinical practice, some women do experience vaginal bleeding when they are not having their period. This symptom definitely requires vigilance, what if it is a disease? The following editor will tell you what is going on when there is blood in the vagina when your period is not coming.

Vaginal bleeding, commonly referred to by the general public, is formally known as irregular vaginal bleeding in medicine. It refers to irregular bleeding of the reproductive system outside of normal menstruation, manifested as vaginal bleeding between menstruation, continuous spotting, bloody leucorrhea, significantly prolonged and heavy menstruation, or abnormal bleeding during menopause. It is one of the common problems seen in gynecological clinics.

There are many causes of irregular vaginal bleeding, which can be divided into two situations: menopausal and non-menopausal. The main cause for non-menopausal patients is endometrial hyperplasia. Other causes include dysfunctional uterine bleeding or intrauterine device (IUD).

It should be noted that some malignant gynecological tumors (such as endometrial cancer) can also cause small amounts of bleeding. The early symptoms are not obvious and can be easily ignored. Therefore, once patients experience irregular vaginal bleeding, they need to seek medical attention in a timely manner to avoid related complications.

The patient's medical history needs to be inquired in detail, and the cause of irregular vaginal bleeding can usually be determined by combining the results of gynecological examination and ultrasound examination.

Because the causes are different, the treatment methods are different. Targeted and personalized treatment plans should be adopted according to the pathological type, cause, amount and site of bleeding of the patient's irregular vaginal bleeding. If bleeding is caused by IUD, the performance of the IUD should be improved in time and anti-inflammatory treatment should be actively carried out.

Bleeding caused by uterine fibroids and other diseases should be diagnosed early and given targeted clinical treatment in a timely manner. Bleeding caused by hormone disorders or endocrine disorders should be treated with early pathological examination, rational hormone therapy, and surgical treatment if necessary. The general principle of treatment is to strive for early diagnosis and early treatment.
