What is the reason for bleeding again a few days after menstruation?

I believe that many female friends will encounter such a problem. They feel that their menstruation has ended for 2-3 days, but suddenly they bleed again for unknown reasons. This is a headache and troublesome thing for many women. So let’s take a look at what is going on when bleeding starts again a few days after menstruation?

It is normal to have a small amount of bleeding 2-3 days before menstruation. This is because the progesterone and estrogen secreted by the ovaries have been insufficient before the sudden drop (before menstruation), causing local shedding of the endometrium and a small amount of vaginal bleeding. If the above two hormones decrease slowly and are still at a high level when they should have dropped to the lowest value, the endometrium cannot be shed quickly and a little vaginal bleeding will occur.

If the above two hormones decrease slowly and still exist at a relatively high level when they should reach the lowest value, the endometrium cannot be shed quickly, leaving a small amount of residue. Or, when the ovaries secrete insufficient estrogen at the beginning of the next menstrual cycle, the endometrium cannot grow quickly and comprehensively. In this case, there will still be a small amount of vaginal bleeding a few days after menstruation.

In short, this bleeding phenomenon is caused by the incoordination of the endocrine function of the ovaries. There is no need to worry too much about this and no treatment is needed. If this small amount of bleeding does not occur before or after menstruation but occurs during menstruation, if it is irregular or the bleeding lasts for a long time, you should go to a gynecologist for treatment. Ovulation bleeding is only a small amount of brown discharge, which usually lasts for half a day or 2-3 days, and no more than 7 days at most, and may be accompanied by slight ovulation pain and backache. Second, functional uterine bleeding, which is usually manifested by irregular menstrual cycle, excessive menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual period or irregular bleeding.

The first thing women who often experience similar situations need to pay attention to is to improve their lifestyle habits and try to restore their endocrine levels to a more normal level. If the bleeding situation has not improved, it is best to go to the hospital for a specific examination to find out.
