A small amount of blood in the vagina should not be ignored

The vagina is a reproductive organ unique to women. For women, the vagina is the passage from the uterus to the outside of the body, and sometimes it is also a way for various bacteria to invade the human body. Therefore, vaginal health is particularly important for women. It is imperative to pay attention to vaginal health. Recently, some female friends have asked me what is causing the blood streaks in their vagina. Here, the editor will analyze and answer this topic for you.

Women should avoid having sexual intercourse during treatment, and must pay attention to maintaining the hygiene of the vulva and develop the habit of regular washing. However, they should not use special washing solutions for a long time to avoid destroying the acidity and alkalinity inside the vagina.

For women, the body is very fragile, so in normal times, they should take care of themselves. Many women are afraid of symptoms such as a small amount of bleeding during non-menstrual periods. Why is this? First of all, they should go to the hospital for examination to find the cause and choose some correct treatment methods, which will help alleviate the condition.

So what causes a small amount of non-menstrual bleeding? The following is a detailed introduction. Women should also take some preventive measures in their daily lives, which is also a good protection for themselves.

What causes vaginal bleeding?

1. Cervical factors: When a woman develops a cervical tumor, the tumor invades the blood vessels and causes vaginal bleeding. At first, it manifests as contact bleeding, and gradually it manifests as a small amount of irregular vaginal bleeding. In the late stage, the amount of bleeding will be heavier.

2. Vaginal injury: Vaginal bleeding can also occur when the female vagina is injured or there is a foreign object in it. Vaginal injury can occur during sexual intercourse for certain reasons, and these reasons can cause vaginal bleeding.

3. Vaginal lesions: When a tumor occurs in the vaginal wall of a woman, the surface of the tumor will develop ulcers and necrosis due to infection, which will cause irregular vaginal bleeding. Normally, the amount of bleeding in this situation will not be large.

What are the symptoms of vaginal bleeding?

1. Increased menstrual flow: Heavy menstrual flow (>80ml) or prolonged menstrual period but basically normal cycle are typical symptoms of uterine fibroids. Other symptoms such as adenomyosis, ovulatory menstrual disorders, and intrauterine contraceptive device placement can also cause increased menstrual flow.

2. Irregular vaginal bleeding: mostly anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding, but care should be taken to rule out early endometrial cancer.

3. Long-term continuous vaginal bleeding without any discernible cycle: It is usually caused by reproductive tract malignancies. The possibility of cervical cancer or endometrial cancer should be considered first.

4. Postmenopausal vaginal bleeding: If it occurs in women of childbearing age, pregnancy-related diseases should be considered first, such as miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, hydatidiform mole, etc.; if it occurs in perimenopausal women, it is mostly anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding, but reproductive tract malignant tumors should be ruled out.

From the above content, we can see that the appearance of blood in women's vagina is not only caused by bacterial infection. The reasons are very complicated and there are many possibilities. Therefore, if female friends experience this situation outside of their menstrual period, they must go to the hospital for examination and listen to the doctor's advice. They must not make decisions on their own or take medicine at will, so as to avoid misdiagnosis and miss the best treatment opportunity.
