What is the situation of a small amount of blood in the vagina?

Women's reproductive organs need more protection than men's because the female vaginal opening is connected to the outside world and bacteria can enter more easily. So women should take better care of themselves. Some women may suddenly find themselves experiencing a small amount of vaginal bleeding and become very anxious but do not fully understand the cause of the disease. Let’s take a look at what happens when there is a small amount of blood in the vagina?

Vaginal bleeding is a common problem for many women. Some of it is physiological vaginal bleeding, which is normal vaginal bleeding, such as normal menstruation and postpartum lochia. It is within the normal physiological range and will not harm your health. Pathological vaginal bleeding is different. It is not only a manifestation of physical illness, but also the bleeding itself can damage physical health. Vaginal bleeding can come from the vulva, vagina, cervix, and endometrium, but most cases come from the uterus.

Vaginal bleeding generally refers to abnormal vaginal bleeding. Abnormal vaginal bleeding is one of the most common symptoms of female genital diseases. The following are all abnormal vaginal bleeding.

1. The menstrual volume increases and the menstrual period is prolonged but the cycle is normal. It may be uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, or dysfunctional uterine bleeding. In addition, those who have used an intrauterine device may also have increased menstrual flow.

2. Vaginal bleeding with irregular menstrual cycle. It is often functional uterine bleeding, but endometrial cancer should be ruled out first.

3. Long-term vaginal bleeding. Most of them are malignant tumors of reproductive organs, such as cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, etc.

4. Irregular bleeding after menopause. Women of childbearing age are more likely to be concerned about pregnancy-related diseases, such as miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, hydatidiform mole, etc.; postmenopausal women are more likely to have malignant tumors.

5. Bleeding after sexual intercourse. Most of them are cervical erosion, cervical polyps, cervical cancer or submucosal myoma.

6. Vaginal bleeding with leucorrhea. It is often considered to be advanced cervical cancer or endometrial cancer with infection.

7. Paroxysmal vaginal bleeding. There is a possibility of primary fallopian tube cancer.

I believe that after reading the above content, everyone will have some understanding of the situation of small amounts of vaginal bleeding. If a woman has this phenomenon, she must check it out.
