Why do I still bleed after my period?

Menstruation is a physical condition that women face for a long period of time. Menstrual bleeding refers to regular, cyclical uterine bleeding, which is a normal physiological condition. However, some female friends have reported that they still have bleeding even after their menstrual period has passed, and they can't help but worry whether they have some organ disease. So today, the editor will take you to understand the reasons for bleeding after the menstrual period.

If bleeding occurs suddenly about 14 days before menstruation, and the bleeding may last for 2-3 days but not more than 7 days; or occurs in the middle period between two menstrual periods, it can be considered as ovulation bleeding. Ovulation bleeding has nothing to do with age, because every woman may experience ovulation bleeding, and ovulation bleeding is a normal phenomenon. Generally, the amount of bleeding during ovulation is less, the secretions are brown, and may be accompanied by varying degrees of lower abdominal pain. Women who do not know this will think they are having two periods. For some women it happens every few months, while for others it never happens in their entire lives.

Generally speaking, the amount of bleeding during ovulation is very small, has no impact on personal life, and does not require treatment. If the amount of bleeding is heavy and affects daily life and work, women aged 20-40 can take a small amount of estrogen supplement under the guidance of a doctor to maintain the stability of estrogen. It is not recommended for women over 40 years old who have not yet reached menopause to supplement estrogen, because if women in this age group supplement too much estrogen, they may suffer from endometrial hyperplasia, leading to endometrial polyps and endometrial lesions.

Although normal ovulation bleeding does not affect your health, you should still pay attention to regulating your body. During ovulation bleeding, you can eat more protein-rich foods and fruits, avoid strenuous exercise, and pay attention to your work and rest schedule. If the amount of bleeding is heavy, similar to normal menstrual flow, and occurs intermittently, or lasts for more than 7 days, you need to go to the hospital for a corresponding gynecological examination to rule out the possibility of other diseases.

I believe that after reading this, everyone has already had their own understanding of the issue of bleeding after the menstrual period. You can compare the above possibilities according to your own situation to see what causes it. You should treat this phenomenon with a normal mind and don’t need to be too nervous or worried. However, if you are really worried, you can also go to the hospital to consult a doctor.
