My period came again just one week after my period ended

The menstrual cycle is a reflection of women's physical health. Only regular physiological cycles can make the body reach a healthy and full state. The coldness in the body can affect our menstrual cycle. The normal menstrual cycle is 28 days. After one reciprocating cycle, when there are no eggs to be released, it is time for menopause. Some women have very irregular menstruation, where their periods come again just a week after they ended. What’s going on?

Ovulation bleeding, also known as mid-cycle bleeding, refers to a small amount of bleeding between two normal menstrual periods. During the middle of the menstrual cycle, that is, during ovulation, due to a brief drop in estrogen levels, the endometrium loses hormonal support and some endometrium sheds, causing regular vaginal bleeding, which may be accompanied by varying degrees of lower abdominal pain.

Traditional Chinese medicine calls it "intermenstrual bleeding."

8) Notes

1. Because the amount of bleeding during the period is small, patients often neglect and ignore it and do not treat it. However, repeated bleeding can affect the functions of internal organs, qi and blood, and may also affect conception or cause miscarriage. Therefore, patients should be encouraged to actively seek treatment.

2. Pay attention to menstrual health care knowledge. Although the amount of bleeding during the mid-term period is small or resembles red discharge, the cervix is ​​slightly open. If you do not avoid sexual intercourse, bacteria may ascend and infect, leading to endometritis or adnexitis. Once you find lower abdominal pain after sexual intercourse, an increase in yellow discharge or fever, you should use antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs as soon as possible to prevent the spread of inflammation.

3. This disease occurs during the ovulation period, which is about 14 days before menstruation, so medication or treatment must be started before ovulation to prevent ovulation bleeding. If you wait until vaginal bleeding occurs before starting treatment, it can only serve as a passive hemostasis, so it is also important to grasp the treatment time. If there is no mid-term bleeding for three consecutive menstrual cycles after treatment, the patient is considered cured.

This adjustment is not difficult and will not take long. Once the adjustment is made, it will not affect fertility.
