What is the cause of blood streaks in leucorrhea?

Leucorrhea is a white liquid that flows out of the vagina of women. Leucorrhea is divided into physiological leucorrhea and pathological leucorrhea. Pathological leucorrhea is mostly caused by inflammation. When women have abnormal leucorrhea, the main symptoms are usually increased leucorrhea, too little leucorrhea, or leucorrhea with an odor, but some women have bloody leucorrhea.

The culprit for bloody leucorrhea is cervical erosion, which is a manifestation of chronic cervicitis. When the epidermis of the external os of the cervix falls off and is replaced by another epithelial tissue at the os of the cervix, the new epithelium covering the surface is very thin, and you can even see the blood vessels and red tissue underneath. It looks like real erosion, so it is called cervical erosion.

Cervical erosion, mild cases often have no obvious symptoms, moderate cases, especially severe cases of erosion mainly manifested by increased leucorrhea. Due to different pathogens, scope and degree of inflammation, the amount, shape, color and smell of leucorrhea are also different. It can be milky white mucous or yellow pus or leucorrhea with blood. Cervical erosion can cause contact bleeding or irregular vaginal bleeding. When the inflammation spreads to the pelvic cavity, there may be low back pain, sacral pain, abdominal pain and dysmenorrhea, which will worsen during menstruation, bowel movements or sexual intercourse. The sticky and purulent leucorrhea is not conducive to the passage of sperm, which can cause infertility and seriously affect women's physical and mental health.

Female friends must pay great attention to the presence of blood in their leucorrhea. In fact, the most common disease with bloody leucorrhea is cervical erosion. This type of gynecological disease may not cause any obvious symptoms in mild cases, but may even cause dysmenorrhea or infertility in severe cases. In short, if you find that there is blood in the color of your leucorrhea, you must seek medical attention and treatment in time.
