What are the symptoms of uterine bleeding?

Uterine bleeding is one of the symptoms of ovulation bleeding for some women. Women are very worried about this because it is related to their physical health. In fact, women should have a full understanding of uterine bleeding, including its symptoms and causes. Only on this basis can they make scientific judgments and preventive treatments to better maintain their own healthy development and avoid seeking medical treatment in a hurry.

1. What are the symptoms of ovulation bleeding?

The most obvious symptom of ovulation bleeding is uterine bleeding. Generally, the amount of bleeding is small. Some cases only have brown secretions. In very rare cases, it stops with a few drops of discharge, or there is blood in the discharge. Some bleeding lasts for several hours, or stops on its own after 2 to 3 days. The maximum period shall not exceed 7 days.

In addition to a small amount of vaginal bleeding, ovulation bleeding is also accompanied by lower abdominal pain or back pain, which is more common on one side and sometimes bilateral abdominal pain, which can be mild or severe. It usually lasts for several hours, and in some patients it can last for 2 to 3 days.

In addition, due to the secretion of progesterone during the ovulation period, the body temperature rises slightly after ovulation. Usually a thermometer is needed to detect it. However, some women, although they do not test their basal body temperature, will feel a little fever in the half month after ovulation, especially in the afternoon. In addition, many women will experience breast swelling or nipple pain during ovulation, and sometimes they can hardly touch their nipples. The breast symptoms may continue until the eve of the next menstrual period.

In short, the above changes during ovulation exist in every sexually mature woman. But some symptoms are obvious, while others are not, and you need to be careful to feel them.

2. What causes ovulation bleeding?

The above introduces the symptoms of ovulation bleeding. Next, we will introduce the causes of ovulation bleeding. Ovulation bleeding has both physiological reasons and reproductive system diseases. The details are as follows:

1. Hormone levels fluctuate too much

After ovulation, estrogen levels drop rapidly, causing the endometrium, which has proliferated under the influence of estrogen, to lose support and cause a small amount of bleeding.

2. Chronic inflammation of the endometrium

This causes the endometrium to become significantly congested during ovulation, or when ovulation occurs, the blood vessels on the surface of the ovary happen to rupture, causing more bleeding than normal and flowing back into the uterine cavity with the peristalsis of the fallopian tube and discharged from the body through the vagina.

3. Incomplete luteal atrophy

If the corpus luteum atrophies, estrogen and progesterone will not drop rapidly, and the shedding of the endometrium will be irregular, leading to bleeding. This causes the endometrium to become significantly congested during ovulation, and the bleeding is not easy to stop on its own. It flows back into the uterine cavity with the peristalsis of the fallopian tube and is discharged from the body.

4. Insufficient luteal function

If the secretion of progesterone is disturbed, it will lead to a deficiency of estrogen and progesterone. At this time, the endometrium cannot be renewed normally, or the endometrium is prone to adverse reactions, which can lead to symptoms of small amounts of bleeding a few days before the menstrual period. This phenomenon will continue until the official onset of menstruation.

5. Decreased secretion of female hormones

During ovulation, women's estrogen levels drop significantly, which cannot support the normal growth of the endometrium, so a small amount of bleeding is likely to occur. It is normal for women to have a small amount of bleeding during ovulation. Generally speaking, it is almost impossible to detect it with the naked eye. It is a normal metabolic phenomenon of the human body and there is no need to worry too much. If obvious bleeding is found, you need to consult a professional doctor.

6. Delayed endometrial repair

When one menstrual cycle is completed, the follicles have not yet fully grown and developed before the next cycle arrives. Insufficient estrogen secretion can easily lead to the endometrium not being able to regenerate completely and in a timely manner, causing menstruation to be delayed until the ovulation period. Imbalance in sex hormone secretion in the body can also cause large fluctuations in hormone levels during ovulation, resulting in significant bleeding. Many of the symptoms of bleeding during ovulation in women are caused by a combination of physical factors. Female compatriots should always pay attention to this. If this symptom persists for a long time, it can easily lead to infertility.
