What is the reason for blood in leucorrhea

There are two types of bloody vaginal discharge: physiological and pathological. The presence of blood in vaginal discharge does not necessarily mean there is a problem. If it is physiological leucorrhea with blood, then there is no problem. For example, during ovulation bleeding, there may be blood in the leucorrhea. However, if you find that there is blood in your leucorrhea during your non-ovulation period, you must pay enough attention to it. It is best to go to the hospital in time to find out the cause and actively receive treatment.

Leucorrhea is composed of fluids secreted by many tissues, including mucus secreted by the paraurethral glands, Bartholin's glands, cervical glands and endometrial glands, and exudate from the capillaries and lymphatic vessels in the vaginal wall. The mixed mucus contains desquamated cells of the vaginal epithelium and a small amount of white blood cells, which form leucorrhea. After a girl reaches puberty, as her ovarian function improves, a milky white or transparent liquid will flow out of her vagina. The amount is sometimes more, sometimes less, and there is a regularity to it. This is leucorrhea, which has the function of keeping the vaginal mucosa moist.

Bloody leucorrhea, with blood mixed in the leucorrhea, should alert you to the possibility of malignant tumors such as cervical cancer and endometrial cancer. However, benign lesions such as cervical polyps, cervical erosion, submucosal myoma, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, urethral caruncle, senile vaginitis, etc. can also cause bloody leucorrhea. Bloody leucorrhea caused by intrauterine contraceptive device is also more common. However, pathological bloody leucorrhea is generally associated with the following diseases:

1. Cervical diseases: cervical cancer, cervical polyps, cervical tuberculosis, cervicitis, endometritis;

2. Gynecological tumors: submucosal uterine fibroids, benign or malignant tumors;

3. Gynecological inflammation: senile vaginitis.

4. In addition, sometimes due to the placement of an intrauterine contraceptive ring, there may be some blood mixed in the leucorrhea.

Reminder: If you have bloody leucorrhea, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible, and then receive targeted treatment after the cause of the disease is determined.

The above is an explanation about leucorrhea with blood. No matter what kind of disease it is, timely treatment is needed. Women should try not to wear tight clothes in their daily lives, and it is best to choose soft cotton materials for underwear. Wash your underwear frequently and clean your vulva with warm water every day, which is also good for preventing vaginitis.
