Bleeding from the lower body before menstruation

Adult women experience bleeding every month, because women have vaginal bleeding during their periods, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. But some people also experience bleeding in the vagina during their non-menstrual period. What is the reason for this? What causes "non-menstrual bleeding"?

Gynecologists remind that non-menstrual bleeding may be a warning sign of some human diseases. Female friends should be vigilant, learn to observe themselves, determine whether their bleeding has affected their health, and actively seek help from a doctor when necessary.

Causes of “non-menstrual bleeding” 1. Multifunctional abnormal uterine bleeding

"Multifunctional abnormal uterine bleeding" is commonly known as "functional uterine bleeding". It generally has the main manifestations of irregular menstrual cycle, excessive menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual period or non-menstrual bleeding. It is mainly caused by imbalance of central nervous system and endocrine system. Due to long-term non-menstrual bleeding, some patients with "dysfunctional uterine bleeding" will also have varying degrees of anemia. Generally speaking, if menstruation is delayed for more than 7 days, it is recommended not to subjectively think that it is delayed menstruation, but to observe the color, amount and duration of menstruation. Once you find that the blood bar is sometimes more and sometimes less, there is continuous spotting, abdominal pain, etc., you should be alert.

Cause of “non-menstrual bleeding” 2. Contact bleeding

Contact bleeding refers to vaginal bleeding during sexual intercourse. Contact bleeding is an abnormal condition and must be taken seriously. Generally speaking, contact bleeding is related to gynecological diseases (such as cervicitis, vaginitis, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, and early cervical cancer). Once contact bleeding occurs, you should go to the hospital immediately for medical treatment to avoid missing the best treatment opportunity.

Causes of “non-menstrual bleeding” 3. Ovulation bleeding

Ovulation bleeding usually occurs in the middle of two regular menstrual periods. Ovulation bleeding is generally related to the level of estrogen metabolism. During the ovulation period of a girl, the level of estrogen will temporarily drop, and the uterine wall will therefore lose the support of estrogen, causing the uterine wall to fall off and cause bleeding. Ovulation bleeding is generally small in amount and short in duration, and the symptoms are mild and do not require treatment. However, if the bleeding is heavy, you should take hemostatic drugs under the guidance of a doctor to control it.

Cause 4 of “non-menstrual bleeding”: Bleeding caused by contraceptive methods

Some people may experience side effects such as non-menstrual bleeding, spotting, etc. after taking emergency contraception. After taking emergency contraceptives, the level of estrogen decreases, and the normal development of the uterine wall is affected. Some women may experience uterine wall shedding and bleeding.

In addition, if the contraceptive ring irritates the uterine wall and causes damage to the uterine wall, it can also easily cause bleeding.
