Why does leucorrhea suddenly contain blood?

In daily life, women's vagina will secrete secretions, which are medically called leucorrhea. Its normality is directly related to the health of women's reproductive system. Under normal circumstances, leucorrhea is a colorless, odorless, transparent liquid. If it is different from this, it probably means there is a problem with the reproductive organs, such as vaginitis. So, what's the matter with the sudden bloody vaginal discharge?

Leucorrhea with blood is also called bloody leucorrhea, which means that there is blood mixed in the leucorrhea. You should be alert to the possibility of malignant tumors such as cervical cancer and endometrial cancer, but benign lesions such as cervical polyps, cervicitis, submucosal fibroids, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, and senile vaginitis can also cause bloody leucorrhea. Bloody leucorrhea caused by intrauterine contraceptive device placement is also common.

Clinical manifestations

It is generally manifested as blood mixed in the leucorrhea, with the amount of blood varying.

1. Cervical polyps: Cervical polyps are a manifestation of chronic cervicitis. The main symptoms are yellow leucorrhea, odorous leucorrhea, bloody leucorrhea, etc.

2. Acute vaginitis: The main symptoms are increased leucorrhea, which is yellow or purulent and has a foul odor. When the infection is severe, vaginal bleeding may occur.

3. Severe cervicitis: The main symptoms are increased vaginal discharge, which is yellow, sticky and smelly, accompanied by vulvar itching, bleeding during sexual intercourse, lumbar pain, dysmenorrhea, etc.

4. Senile vaginitis: Clinical manifestations include increased vaginal discharge in a light yellow color, and in severe cases, bloody and purulent leucorrhea.

5. Cervical cancer: vaginal bleeding or bloody vaginal discharge after sexual intercourse.

6. Endometrial cancer: Clinical manifestations include irregular bleeding, with the amount of bleeding varying from time to time. Premenopausal women may have heavy menstrual flow and prolonged duration, while postmenopausal women may experience postmenopausal bleeding.

7. Fallopian tube cancer: Because the tumor stimulates the fallopian tube epithelium to exude fluid and the diseased tissue to necrosis, the leucorrhea is intermittent, red liquid, and intermittently flows out of the vagina.

8. Vaginal cancer and uterine cancer: The "leucorrhea" secreted is mostly characterized by a large amount of leucorrhea, which is like rice washing water, turbid and has a foul odor. Sometimes it is mixed with blood and is light pink in color and in large amounts.
