What causes ovulation bleeding?

Ovulation bleeding is a normal physiological phenomenon if the amount of bleeding is small. However, if the amount of bleeding is heavy, you should be alert and go to the hospital for examination in time. For example, abnormal hormone secretion or gynecological diseases can easily lead to heavy bleeding. In addition, luteal insufficiency and delayed endometrial repair can also easily lead to heavy ovulation bleeding. At this time, you must seek treatment in time.

1. Hormone levels fluctuate too much

After ovulation, estrogen levels drop rapidly, causing the endometrium, which has proliferated under the influence of estrogen, to lose support and cause a small amount of bleeding.

2. Chronic inflammation of the endometrium

This causes the endometrium to become significantly congested during ovulation, or when ovulation occurs, the blood vessels on the surface of the ovary happen to rupture, causing more bleeding than normal and flowing back into the uterine cavity with the peristalsis of the fallopian tube and discharged from the body through the vagina.

3. Decreased secretion of female hormones

During ovulation, women's estrogen levels drop significantly, which cannot support the normal growth of the endometrium, so a small amount of bleeding is likely to occur. It is normal for women to have a small amount of bleeding during ovulation. Generally speaking, it is almost impossible to detect it with the naked eye. It is a normal metabolic phenomenon of the human body and there is no need to worry too much. If obvious bleeding is found, you need to consult a professional doctor.

4. Insufficient luteal function

If the secretion of progesterone is disturbed, it will lead to a deficiency of estrogen and progesterone. At this time, the endometrium cannot be renewed normally, or the endometrium is prone to adverse reactions, which can lead to symptoms of small amounts of bleeding a few days before the menstrual period. This phenomenon will continue until the official onset of menstruation.

5. Incomplete atrophy of the corpus luteum

If the corpus luteum atrophies, estrogen and progesterone will not drop rapidly, and the shedding of the endometrium will be irregular, leading to bleeding. This causes the endometrium to become significantly congested during ovulation, and the bleeding is not easy to stop on its own. It flows back into the uterine cavity with the peristalsis of the fallopian tube and is discharged from the body.

6. Delayed endometrial repair

When one menstrual cycle is completed, the follicles have not yet fully grown and developed before the next cycle arrives. Insufficient estrogen secretion can easily lead to the endometrium not being able to regenerate completely and in a timely manner, causing menstruation to be delayed until the ovulation period. Imbalance in sex hormone secretion in the body can also cause large fluctuations in hormone levels during ovulation, resulting in significant bleeding. Many of the symptoms of bleeding during ovulation in women are caused by a combination of physical factors. Female compatriots should always pay attention to this. If this symptom persists for a long time, it can easily lead to infertility.
