What is vaginal bleeding after menstruation?

Some female friends found that they were still bleeding even though their menstrual period had passed. Such symptoms make them particularly worried. If you find yourself bleeding again a few days after your period, excluding the possibility of incomplete menstruation (some women may not have completely discharged their menstrual blood) and physiological ovulation bleeding, it may be due to inflammation or problems with the reproductive system. Of course, this needs to be determined based on the actual situation. It is mainly divided into the following aspects:

1. Non-menstrual bleeding

If irregular vaginal bleeding occurs during non-menstrual period, it is a very worrying condition, especially for many unmarried and non-pregnant women. Generally speaking, bleeding a few days after menstruation may be caused by ovulation bleeding. But it may also be caused by gynecological diseases.

2. Ovulation bleeding

Ovulation bleeding occurs about 14 days before menstruation, but in most people, there is no such phenomenon as ovulation bleeding. The cause of ovulation bleeding is that the follicle ruptures and the estrogen level drops after ovulation, which cannot maintain the normal growth of the endometrium and causes endometrial breakthrough bleeding. Generally, the amount of bleeding is small and no treatment is needed. If the amount of bleeding is heavy, you should go to the hospital for examination.

3. Postmenstrual bleeding

In another case, bleeding a few days after menstruation may be caused by uterine fibroids.

If post-menstrual bleeding lasts for a long time and is accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain, it is likely a symptom of uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids endanger women's health. If not treated in time, it can easily lead to excessive bleeding a few days after menstruation and cause anemia. Uterine fibroids can be treated, and there are many ways to treat them, but specific problems need to be treated specifically.

It may also be caused by irregular menstruation or gynecological diseases. Menstrual irregularities are mainly manifested as irregular menstrual cycles or bleeding volume, and irregular uterine bleeding. Gynecological diseases such as cervical erosion, cervical polyps, vaginal inflammation, etc. may also cause bleeding a few days after non-menstrual period. So this requires going to the hospital for examination and treatment.

If you are worried, you can go to the hospital for a check-up. If you are a woman who does not have sex, you must inform the doctor in advance. It may be an inflammation or endocrine problem, which is generally not a big problem. If you already have sex, do not hide this fact from your doctor even if you are not married. The doctor will need to perform a gynecological examination and a series of detailed examinations.
