Why is the vaginal discharge red but not like blood?

For women, their health status can be seen from the daily secretion of vaginal discharge. Normally, leucorrhea is transparent and clear, but if the vaginal discharge is found to be relatively turbid, or even red and not like blood, it may mean that there is a problem with women's health. So, what is the reason why leucorrhea is red and does not look like blood?

1. What diseases can cause red vaginal discharge?

1. Vaginitis

When there is blood in the leucorrhea, it usually indicates that the vagina is infected with pathogens. For example, the vagina may be infected with Trichomonas, fungi and other bacteria, which may lead to vaginitis. When a large number of bacteria multiply in the vagina, there will be a lot of vaginal discharge immediately. The vaginal discharge may be like tofu-like leucorrhea, sometimes with blood. In severe cases, tofu-like leucorrhea may appear, accompanied by vulvar itching and vaginal discharge odor.

2. Abnormal uterine bleeding due to imbalance of action

The symptom of blood in vaginal discharge may also be caused by abnormal uterine bleeding due to imbalanced function, and its occurrence is related to endocrine disorders in the female body. This type of leucorrhea with blood will persist and may become more serious if the endocrine system is not adjusted in time.

3. Cervicitis

Cervicitis is a very common gynecological inflammation among women. When a woman suffers from cervicitis, due to the irritation of inflammation, the cervical secretion will increase and it is easy to contain blood, especially after sexual intercourse, the occurrence of bloody leucorrhea is more common. In addition to bloody leucorrhea, patients with cervicitis also have symptoms of lower abdominal pain.

2. What should I do if my leucorrhea is red and does not look like blood?

The leucorrhea is red but does not look like blood because there are very few blood streaks in the vaginal secretions, which makes it look like blood. Sometimes, vaginal discharge contains a small amount of blood because of ovulation bleeding. This is normal. As long as you pay attention to rest and avoid excessive exercise, the redness of the vaginal discharge will disappear automatically in a short time. However, if persistent leucorrhea with blood streaks occurs, it may indicate gynecological inflammation. Women should pay attention to whether they have any uncomfortable symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, and go to the hospital as soon as possible for gynecological examinations such as leucorrhea examination, and use medication to treat the disease after the cause is determined.
