What is the cause of bleeding after one week of menstruation?

Generally speaking, women only bleed during their menstrual period. When the bleeding stops, it means the menstrual period has come to an end. However, if bleeding occurs again a few days after the menstrual period ends, women should pay attention to it. Since it is an abnormal condition, it is likely caused by a human disease. So, what is the reason for bleeding again after a week of menstruation?

Why does bleeding start again after a week of menstruation?

1. Non-menstrual bleeding

If irregular vaginal bleeding occurs during non-menstrual period, it is a very worrying situation, especially for many single women who are not pregnant and should pay more attention to it. Generally speaking, bleeding a few days after menstruation may be caused by ovulation bleeding. But it may also be caused by gynecological diseases.

2. Ovulation bleeding

Ovulation bleeding occurs about 14 days before menarche, but in most people, there is no such phenomenon as ovulation bleeding. The cause of ovulation bleeding is that the follicle ruptures and the level of estrogen decreases after ovulation, which cannot maintain the normal development of the uterine wall and causes endometrial breakthrough bleeding. Generally, the bleeding is relatively small and no treatment is needed. If the bleeding is heavy, you need to go to the hospital for examination.

3. Postmenstrual bleeding

There is also a situation where bleeding a few days after menstruation may be caused by uterine fibroids. If postmenstrual bleeding lasts for a long time and is accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain, it may be a symptom of uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids harm women's health. If not treated in time, it is easy to cause excessive bleeding in the few days after menstruation, leading to anemia, etc. Uterine fibroids can be treated, and there are many ways to treat them, but it requires looking at the actual problem in a practical way. It may also be caused by irregular menstruation or gynecological diseases. Menstrual irregularities are specifically manifested as disordered menstrual cycles or bleeding, and irregular abnormal uterine bleeding.
