Let’s take a look at what happens when bleeding occurs again after a few days of menstruation.

1. Resurgence

1. Concept

A woman will experience recurrent menstruation a few days after her menstruation ends, usually one to two days, and the amount of fluid will not be too much. It is also called recurrent menstruation after breastfeeding. If the amount is not much, no treatment is needed. But if it lasts too long or happens too often, it can be a problem.

2. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding

1. Concept

Functional uterine bleeding, also known as DUB, is a common gynecological disease. It refers to abnormal uterine bleeding. After examination, no organic lesions of the whole body or reproductive organs were found.

2. Causes

Irregular menstruation is mainly caused by dysfunction of the nervous system and endocrine system. 3. Symptoms of anovulatory functional uterine bleeding: The most common clinical symptom is irregular uterine bleeding, which is characterized by irregular menstrual cycles, varying lengths of menstrual periods, varying amounts of bleeding, and even heavy bleeding. Sometimes it starts out as irregular bleeding. Sometimes the cycle is regular, with only symptoms of increased menstrual blood volume and prolonged menstrual period. There is no lower abdominal pain or other discomfort during the bleeding period.

Ovulatory functional uterine bleeding: 1) Incomplete corpus luteum development: Clinically, it is often manifested as a shortened menstrual cycle of less than 28 days. 2) Incomplete luteal atrophy: caused by insufficient secretion of estrogen and progesterone. It often occurs in women of childbearing age. They have normal menstrual cycles but prolonged menstrual periods, with varying amounts of bleeding. Sometimes there may be continuous bleeding before and after menstruation, and the main manifestation is a prolonged menstrual period.

3. Ovulation bleeding

1. Concept

During the ovulation period, the estrogen level drops temporarily due to ovulation, causing the endometrium of some women to lose the support of estrogen, resulting in endometrial shedding and regular vaginal bleeding, which is called ovulation bleeding. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it "intermenstrual bleeding." 2. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the cause of the disease is yin deficiency, liver depression, damp heat, blood stasis, and spleen deficiency; Western medicine believes that after the follicles mature and ovulate, the estrogen level will drop significantly, and the lower estrogen level cannot maintain the growth of the endometrium, thus causing a small amount of bleeding. 3. Symptoms usually occur on the 12th to 16th day of the menstrual cycle, usually lasting for several hours or 2 to 3 days, not exceeding 7 days. The amount of bleeding is significantly less than normal menstrual bleeding, and the bleeding can stop on its own. It may be accompanied by mild lower abdominal discomfort or lower back pain, or there may be no accompanying discomfort.
