What is vaginal bleeding after menstruation?

Menstruation will accompany women for decades, so women are very familiar with it. In addition to vaginal bleeding during menstruation, many women still experience vaginal bleeding after menstruation, which makes them very worried, fearing that it will cause further harm. So, what is vaginal bleeding after menstruation? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

Generally speaking, bleeding a few days after menstruation may be caused by ovulation bleeding or gynecological diseases.

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.

Additionally, bleeding a few days after your period 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.

Secondly, it may 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.

The above is an introduction to the causes of vaginal bleeding after menstruation. I hope it will be helpful to everyone’s understanding. There are many factors that cause vaginal bleeding after menstruation. When this happens, you must actively look for the cause and then take effective measures to treat it to avoid more serious consequences for women's health.
