Women's menstruation is a sign of their secondary development. As they grow older, it gradually becomes a sign of their physical health. A woman's menstruation may be delayed or advanced due to lifestyle or physical problems, and the problem may also be conveyed through leucorrhea. This article introduces the possible reasons for the appearance of red vaginal discharge after menstruation. If you experience this condition, it is best to go to the hospital for examination. Let’s take a look at the content of the article below.

1. Suffering from acute vaginitis. The main manifestation of this disease is an increase in leucorrhea, which is yellow, watery or purulent and has a foul odor. In severe cases, vaginal bleeding may also occur.

2. For severe cervical erosion. Symptoms include increased vaginal discharge, yellowing, becoming sticky and smelly, vulvar itching, bleeding during sexual intercourse, lower back pain, and severe dysmenorrhea.

3. Cervical polyps are a type of chronic cervicitis, which can cause yellow leucorrhea with an odor and blood in the leucorrhea.

4. Cervical cancer. After sexual intercourse, there will be a small amount of vaginal discharge and blood.

5. Endometrial cancer. The clinical manifestation is irregular bleeding, with the amount of bleeding sometimes more and sometimes less. Non-menopausal women may have prolonged menstrual flow, and postmenopausal women will experience postmenopausal bleeding.

6. The clinical manifestation of senile vaginitis is that the vaginal discharge will increase, the color will be light yellow, and in severe cases, there will be bloody purulent leucorrhea.

For female friends who suffer from the above symptoms, it is best to go to the hospital for examination to confirm the cause so as to provide symptomatic treatment. Do not take medicine on your own and delay the disease. The key to treating abnormal leucorrhea is to treat other diseases.

What tests should be done if there is blood in the leucorrhea after menstruation?

1. Common fungi and trichomonas in leucorrhea.

This allows the leucorrhea to be processed and then examined under a microscope to detect the presence of trichomonas or fungi based on its appearance.

2. Normal leucorrhea pH value.

After puberty, due to the stimulation of female ovarian sex hormones, the mucosal epithelial cells of women will become rich in animal starch, which will be decomposed by vaginal lactobacilli and turned into lactic acid, making the vaginal secretions weakly acidic, which can prevent pathogens from multiplying in the vagina. This is why the vagina has a self-cleaning function.

3. Leucorrhea and general vaginal cleanliness.

This can be divided into four levels. The normal situation is grades I-II, while grades III-IV indicate abnormal leucorrhea and require treatment.

4. Routine clue cells in leucorrhea.

The most sensitive and specific sign of bacterial vaginosis. Clinical doctors can make a diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis based on a positive amine test and clue cells.

5. Routine amine test for leucorrhea.

If a woman's leucorrhea has a fishy odor, she may have bacterial vaginosis. This is mainly because the amines in the leucorrhea are volatilized after being alkalized with potassium hydroxide.
