What is the reason for a small amount of bleeding after menstruation?

Recently, I often hear many female colleagues around me complaining that there is still a small amount of bleeding even after the menstruation is over. This causes some troubles in everyone's normal daily life. The most important thing is that many colleagues are very worried. Is this a precursor to disease? Let’s take a look at what happens if there is a small amount of bleeding after menstruation?

There are two types of irregular 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 needed. If the bleeding is heavy or affects fertility, medication can be used for treatment.

However, if you have irregular vaginal bleeding, you should also consider the possibility of the following diseases: cervical polyps, acute vaginitis, severe cervical erosion, cervical cancer, submucous uterine fibroids, etc. In addition, sometimes due to the placement of an intrauterine contraceptive ring, there may be some blood mixed in the leucorrhea. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for examination, find out the cause of the disease under the guidance of a doctor, and make timely causal treatment.

If a woman is of childbearing age and has a normal sexual life, and bleeds after her period ends, she should consider whether it is related to pregnancy, such as miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, hydatidiform mole, etc. Vaginal bleeding and increased leucorrhea are common in uterine tumors. Consider whether it is advanced cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, or submucosal uterine fibroids with infection. Bleeding lasting three or four days occurs fourteen to fifteen days before the next menstruation. If the amount of bleeding is very small, it is mostly ovulation bleeding.

After reading the above description, I believe that most women will pay corresponding attention to it, because a small amount of bleeding after menstruation may be caused by some gynecological diseases. Especially for women of childbearing age, more attention should be paid and it is best to go to the hospital for examination in time.
