What is vaginal contact bleeding?

Many women will suffer from gynecological inflammation, especially married women, and vaginal contact bleeding is a common gynecological disease. In fact, there are many causes of vaginal contact bleeding. Many gynecological diseases can cause vaginal contact bleeding. Let us now learn about the related diseases.

1. Genital inflammation: Inflammation of the vagina, uterus, and fallopian tubes can cause abnormal vaginal bleeding. For example, senile vaginitis can cause bloody leucorrhea; the main clinical manifestation of endometritis is also irregular vaginal bleeding.

2. Uterine fibroids: The most common symptom of uterine fibroids is irregular vaginal bleeding, which manifests as menstrual disorders, shortened cycles, prolonged menstrual periods, increased menstrual flow, etc.

3. Endometriosis: Endometriosis is often accompanied by uterine fibroids or adenomyosis. If the ovarian tissue is damaged or endocrine abnormalities occur, abnormal vaginal bleeding may occur.

4. Endometrial cancer: The main manifestation of endometrial cancer is abnormal vaginal bleeding, and when combined with infection, there may be foul-smelling pus and blood.

5. Ovarian tumors: Ovarian tumors destroy ovarian tissue and cause abnormal secretion of sex hormones, or tumors secrete abnormal amounts of sex hormones, which can cause irregular shedding of the endometrium and lead to abnormal vaginal bleeding, such as granulosa cell tumors.

6. Cervical cancer: The main clinical manifestation of cervical cancer is contact vaginal bleeding, which often manifests as bleeding after sexual intercourse.

7. Pituitary tumor or empty sella syndrome: These two diseases cause abnormal secretion of gonadotropin and increased prolactin from the pituitary gland, thereby affecting the secretion of sex hormones from the ovaries and ovulation disorders, causing abnormal vaginal bleeding.

8. Hypothalamic tumors: Hypothalamic tumors can cause abnormal secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, which can cause abnormal vaginal bleeding through the gonad axis.

9. Functional uterine bleeding: There is no organic lesion in the uterus, but abnormal vaginal bleeding occurs due to endocrine abnormalities in the ovaries due to various reasons.

Since irregular vaginal bleeding can be caused by many reasons, patients must go to the hospital for examination once this happens. If necessary, they should undergo cervical scraping, colposcopy, diagnostic curettage, hysteroscopy and other examinations to clarify the diagnosis and early treatment.

Irregular vaginal bleeding: prevention is better than cure. It is recommended to:

1. Married women should undergo routine gynecological examinations every 1 to 2 years to detect genital inflammation in a timely manner.

3. Active treatment of dysmenorrhea can reduce the occurrence of endometriosis.

4. Patients with abnormal vaginal bleeding and headache should undergo CT and MRI examinations to rule out hypothalamic and pituitary diseases.

5. Abnormal leucorrhea should be treated promptly to avoid ascending infection that may cause inflammation of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity.
