Vaginal bleeding. Generally speaking, when a woman has sexual intercourse for the first time, she will have symptoms of vaginal bleeding, which is what we call virginity. Vaginal bleeding usually occurs when a woman has her first sexual intercourse. If a woman has vaginal bleeding at other times, you need to pay attention, as it may be related to anemia, cervical disease, etc. At this time, you should pay special attention and it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to determine whether you are healthy.

What are the dangers of vaginal bleeding? Irregular vaginal bleeding refers to bleeding outside of menstrual period, mainly manifested as prolonged menstrual period, heavy menstrual flow, contact bleeding, etc. If women do not receive timely treatment, they will develop anemia, which can seriously affect their physical health. So, what are the dangers of vaginal bleeding? Let’s take a look at the detailed introduction below.

If women have irregular vaginal bleeding and do not seek timely diagnosis and treatment, the following situations may occur:

1. Hemorrhagic anemia: Frequent irregular vaginal bleeding, prolonged bleeding, and heavy bleeding will cause hemorrhagic anemia, and in severe cases, hemorrhagic shock may occur.

2. Cervicitis: Cervicitis is the most common gynecological disease among women of childbearing age, and it can be either acute or chronic. The clinical manifestations of acute cervicitis are increased leucorrhea, purulent discharge and accompanied by low back pain; the clinical manifestations of chronic cervicitis are excessive leucorrhea, which is floating white, mucous or contains blood, or bleeding during sexual intercourse, accompanied by vulvar itching, lumbosacral pain, and aggravation during menstruation.

3. Cervical polyps: Cervical polyps occur due to long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, hyperplasia of the local cervical mucosa, and finally protrusion to the external os of the cervix. Tongue-shaped polyps may be one or more, with a smooth surface and easy bleeding when touched.

4. Uterine fibroids: manifested as periodic vaginal bleeding, mainly characterized by increased menstrual volume, prolonged menstrual period or shortened cycle; about 1/3 of patients present with persistent or irregular bleeding; some patients have accompanying lower abdominal distension, back pain and abdominal pain. When the fibroids are larger, they may compress the bladder or rectum and cause symptoms such as frequent urination and constipation. If vaginal bleeding persists for a long time, anemia may also occur.

Vaginal bleeding may be caused by the four diseases mentioned above. These diseases are very harmful to the body and must be treated in time to ensure good health. During the treatment, we must also start from the perspective of health preservation, carry out food therapy, or eat some foods with higher health value to achieve physical health and fundamentally change the physical constitution of the disease.
