What causes vaginal bleeding when straining to defecate?

Irregular vaginal bleeding has both physiological and pathological reasons. Generally speaking, women may experience ovulation bleeding during their ovulation period, and they may also experience menstrual bleeding. These are relatively normal. However, some patients use more force when going to the toilet, and sometimes they may experience vaginal bleeding. What are the possible causes of vaginal bleeding?

There are many reasons for bloody stools, such as anal fissures, hemorrhoids, rectal polyps, ulcerative colitis, colorectal tumors, etc.

Hemorrhoid bleeding: Characteristics: fresh blood, dripping or spurting, painless.

Anal fissure: Characteristics: blood or dripping blood on paper after defecation, accompanied by pain and discomfort in the anus during and after defecation.

Colorectal inflammation: Bleeding is mostly mucus and blood in the stool, often accompanied by abdominal pain, diarrhea and other discomforts.

Colorectal tumors: Bleeding is mostly dark red blood or blood clots, and in the early stages it is often accompanied by changes in bowel habits, alternating diarrhea and constipation, etc.

First of all, we need to rule out anorectal diseases such as hemorrhoids. Vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometrial disease, etc. may cause vaginal bleeding. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination to find out the cause and treat it symptomatically.

There are two types of non-menstrual vaginal bleeding: physiological and pathological. Generally speaking, some women will experience ovulation bleeding during their ovulation period, also known as mid-menstrual bleeding, which refers to a small amount of bleeding between two normal menstrual periods, which may be accompanied by varying degrees of lower abdominal pain. If the symptoms are mild, no treatment is required. If the bleeding is heavy or affects fertility, medication can be used for treatment. However, if there is irregular vaginal bleeding, the following diseases should also be considered: cervical polyps, acute vaginitis, severe cervical erosion, cervical cancer, uterine submucosal fibroids, etc.

Symptoms similar to vaginal bleeding generally come from the vulva, vagina, cervix and endometrium, but most of them come from the uterus. At present, the most important thing for us is to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. Do not underestimate your symptoms. After the diagnosis has been confirmed, some medications can be used for treatment.
