Light bleeding after your period

Each woman's menstrual cycle is about 28 days, and the process usually lasts five to seven days. However, some women have weaker bodies and will have a small amount of bleeding after their period. The color of this blood is brown or coffee-colored, which is a manifestation of irregular menstruation. You can adjust it according to your own situation. If it is serious, you must go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to check whether the uterus is displaced. Let me give you a detailed introduction below.

1. Ovulation bleeding: only a small amount of brown discharge, usually lasting half a day or 2-3 days, no more than 7 days, may be accompanied by slight ovulation pain and backache

2. Functional uterine bleeding: Its manifestations are usually irregular menstrual cycles, excessive menstrual flow, prolonged menstruation or irregular bleeding.

3. Vaginal bleeding may also occur after taking emergency contraceptive pills. Emergency contraceptive pills will affect the menstrual cycle, especially repeated use will cause menstrual disorders, bleeding, and continuous spotting.

4. Suffering from some gynecological organic diseases, such as uterine fibroids, ovarian diseases, etc., these conditions will cause irregular vaginal bleeding.

If a small amount of blood appears about 14 days after the onset of menstruation, this is ovulation bleeding and there is no need to worry too much.

A woman's menstrual cycle can be divided into four stages: the menstrual period, which is the period from the onset of menstruation to the end of menstruation; the preovulatory period, which is the period from the onset of menstruation to ovulation; the ovulation period is the period when the egg is released; and the premenstrual period is the period from the release of the egg to the next menstrual period.

Before ovulation, during the process of follicle development and maturation, the human body will secrete estrogen, and the increase in estrogen can repair the endometrium and gradually thicken it; estrogen levels reach a peak before ovulation, and once the follicles are discharged, estrogen levels will drop rapidly. When estrogen drops too much, the endometrium will not be supported and exfoliation and bleeding will occur. This is the reason for ovulation bleeding.

Generally speaking, this bleeding is very short-lived, lasting 2 to 3 days and usually not more than 7 days. It will disappear naturally after ovulation and hormone secretion returns to normal. It will not affect your health, so there is no need to worry too much.
