What are the precautions for vaginal bleeding?

Women experience vaginal bleeding after intercourse. This symptom is caused by gynecological diseases, most of which are caused by lesions of the urogenital system organs. For this symptom, you should go to the hospital for professional examination in time and take targeted treatment to avoid further spread of the disease and affect normal body functions and health. In severe cases, it may even affect women's fertility in the later years.

Vaginal bleeding can be roughly divided into the following types:

1. The menstrual volume increases and the menstrual period is prolonged but the cycle is normal. It may be uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, or dysfunctional uterine bleeding. In addition, those who have used an intrauterine device may also have increased menstrual flow.

2. Vaginal bleeding with irregular menstrual cycle. It is often functional uterine bleeding, but endometrial cancer should be ruled out first.

3. Long-term vaginal bleeding. Most of them are malignant tumors of reproductive organs, such as cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, etc.

4. Irregular bleeding after menopause. Women of childbearing age are more likely to be diagnosed with pregnancy-related diseases, such as miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, hydatidiform mole, etc.; postmenopausal women are more likely to have malignant tumors.

5. Bleeding after sexual intercourse. Most of them are cervical erosion, cervical polyps, cervical cancer or submucosal myoma.

Organic lesions in the female reproductive tract often lead to bleeding during sexual intercourse. For example, vulvar ulcers can cause friction on the ulcer surface during sexual intercourse, causing pain and bleeding. Vaginitis is caused by the massive shedding of the vaginal epithelium and congestion of the vaginal mucosa. During sexual intercourse, the penis thrusts and rubs in the vagina, causing damage, rupture and bleeding of the vaginal mucosa. The urethral caruncle grows at the female urethral opening. Because of its brittle texture, the slightest touch during sexual intercourse can cause bleeding. The urethra and vagina are adjacent to each other. When the urethra is inflamed, it is easily squeezed and injured during sexual intercourse, causing bleeding. If you have sexual intercourse two or three days after your period ends and experience this kind of bleeding, you should go to the hospital for a gynecological examination. This situation can occur if you have sex when your period is about to end.

Patients with vaginal bleeding should pay great attention to personal hygiene in daily life, especially they must do a good job of hygiene in sexual life. In daily life, they should develop good living habits, eat a light diet, do not stay up late, and do not put too much pressure on themselves. Appropriate relaxation can also have a good effect on alleviating the condition.
