Significance of withdrawal bleeding

You may not be very familiar with the disease of withdrawal bleeding, or it may even be a very unfamiliar condition. In fact, if this kind of situation occurs, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. Now let us understand the significance of withdrawal bleeding.

(1) If menstruation occurs after progesterone injection (with withdrawal bleeding), it means: ① The uterus is normal and the endometrium has a normal response. ② The ovaries secrete a certain amount of estrogen, which causes the endometrium to proliferate. ③ The functions of the central nervous system and hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary have been basically established, but ovulation is not yet possible, such as some patients with amenorrhea due to immature hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis and polycystic ovary syndrome.

(2) If menstruation does not occur after progesterone injection (except for physiological pregnancy, etc.), it means: ① The uterus may be abnormal. ② Insufficient ovarian estrogen secretion causes the endometrium to fail to proliferate and thus cannot shed and bleed. ③ Pseudo-amenorrhea caused by congenital atresia of cervix and vagina. Further examination is needed to determine the exact cause.

(3) Withdrawal bleeding is also called "substitute menstruation" and is the same as menstruation. It is called substitute menstruation because the bleeding days are controlled by medication instead of being calculated according to normal schedule. The next menstruation can be calculated as a menstruation based on this replacement menstruation, and the next menstruation will be based on this time.

(4) It is best not to have sex during menstruation as it is bad for women’s health. The 3 days before menstruation and the 3 days after menstruation are relatively safe periods, but it is still best to take safety measures. It is better to be safe than sorry. The chance of conception is not high, but it is not zero. It is recommended to use safe measures if possible, and don’t be impatient and regret it!

The above article gives you a detailed introduction to the significance of withdrawal bleeding. I believe that everyone has a relatively preliminary understanding. Therefore, in daily life, you should go to the hospital for examination in time so that you can get a confirmed diagnosis.
