If you are a woman and you find that there is blood in the leucorrhea on your underwear, do you know what causes it? The presence of blood in the leucorrhea is a serious condition and may be a sign of cancer. If women find that there is blood in their leucorrhea, they should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. Generally speaking, the reason why women have abnormal leucorrhea and blood in it is that they suffer from acute vaginitis or cervical polyps. The most serious situation is that they may suffer from endometrial cancer and cervical cancer.

1. Acute vaginitis

The main symptoms of acute vaginitis include vaginal discharge with an unpleasant odor, watery or purulent texture, and a significant increase in volume. Severe infection may cause vaginal spotting.

2. Cervical polyps

One of the manifestations of chronic cervicitis is cervical polyps, and married women are more likely to suffer from cervical polyps. One-third of cervical polyps have no obvious symptoms, so it is easy to miss the best time for treatment, but they can be discovered through examination. The main symptoms of cervical polyps include leucorrhea with an odor, yellowness, and blood. There will be a small amount of bleeding after sexual intercourse, and some patients' bleeding amount is even almost the same as menstrual blood. Some patients' leucorrhea will be yellow, and a few people's leucorrhea will be accompanied by an odor and contain blood.

3. Senile vaginitis

Vaginal discharge increases significantly and becomes light yellow in color. In severe cases, the vaginal discharge becomes bloody and purulent.

4. Severe cervical erosion

Usually, patients with mild cervical erosion do not have any obvious symptoms, while patients with moderate cervical erosion will have a significant increase in leucorrhea. Depending on the cause, leucorrhea can present in different conditions, with different colors, smells, shapes, and degrees. It may appear yellow pus or white, or milky white mucus. The main symptoms of severe cervical erosion include yellow, sticky and odorous leucorrhea, accompanied by vulvar itching, menstrual pain, lumbar pain, and bleeding during sexual intercourse. Cervical erosion can cause irregular vaginal bleeding and contact bleeding, and the inflammation may spread to the pelvic cavity. Once it spreads to the pelvic cavity, low back pain, abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea, and sacral pain will occur. The pain will worsen during bowel movements, menstruation, and sexual intercourse. If cervical erosion is not treated in time, it is likely to affect normal fertility and affect women's physical and mental health.

5. Cervical cancer

There will be a small amount of bleeding during sexual intercourse and increased vaginal discharge.

6. Endometrial cancer

The main symptoms include irregular bleeding, prolonged menstruation in non-menopausal women, and postmenopausal bleeding in menopausal women.
