There are seven main factors for vaginal bleeding

Vaginal bleeding is a common phenomenon among women. It can be divided into two types: physiological and pathological. Generally, physiological vaginal bleeding has no impact, but pathological vaginal bleeding should be taken seriously. Don’t think that it is your period. So what are the causes of vaginal bleeding?

Seven reasons:

1. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding: occurs around puberty, childbearing age, and around menopause. It manifests as abnormalities in the menstrual cycle and menstrual period, with bleeding that may be more or less, sometimes absent, or even continuous.

2. Gynecological inflammation: Children with vaginitis will have a small amount of vaginal bleeding; elderly patients with vaginitis often have bloody leucorrhea and are accompanied by vulvar itching and pain; pelvic inflammatory disease can also cause vaginal bleeding; people with cervical polyps may also experience vaginal bleeding after straining to defecate.

3. Bleeding during pregnancy: various types of miscarriage, such as threatened miscarriage, inevitable miscarriage, incomplete miscarriage, retained miscarriage, and habitual miscarriage. Incomplete delivery of the placenta during normal delivery, or residual placental tissue after miscarriage. Ectopic pregnancy is more common in women aged 18 to 45. Hydatidiform mole, malignant hydatidiform mole and choriocarcinoma.

4. Cervical erosion: Cervical erosion is the most common gynecological disease that causes abnormal vaginal bleeding. When cervical erosion becomes inflamed and eroded, the muscle tissue above it will be stimulated and will crack and fall off, resulting in bleeding symptoms, which are more common during or after sexual intercourse.

5. Cervical cancer: Cervical cancer can also cause bleeding, which starts as contact bleeding and may develop into a small amount of irregular vaginal bleeding. In the late stage, the amount of bleeding increases and may even be heavy bleeding.

6. Uterine lesions: Acute endometritis causes congestion and edema of the endometrium. In severe cases, it may lead to excessive menstrual flow or continuous vaginal bleeding. Patients with chronic endometritis may experience increased menstrual flow or prolonged menstrual periods, or irregular vaginal bleeding. In addition, endometrial tuberculosis also causes irregular vaginal bleeding.

7. Irritation caused by foreign bodies in the uterine cavity: For example, residual fetal membranes after cesarean section may affect the contraction and repair of the endometrium, leading to bleeding. Mechanical compression of the intrauterine device can cause local damage, necrosis and superficial ulcers in the endometrium, leading to bleeding. Endometriosis and adenomyosis may also cause bleeding.
