What causes abnormal vaginal bleeding?

Vaginal bleeding is something that every woman should encounter. The most common is vaginal bleeding during menstruation, followed by bleeding during the first intercourse. These are all normal vaginal bleeding. Bleeding outside of menstruation is abnormal bleeding. There are many reasons for abnormal vaginal bleeding, the most common of which are gynecological inflammations such as vaginitis, cervicitis and endometritis. So besides these inflammations, what other reasons can cause vaginal bleeding? Next, I will give you a detailed introduction.

Abnormal vaginal bleeding

Of course, not all abnormal bleeding means disease. Among abnormal vaginal bleeding, intermenstrual bleeding, bleeding from oral contraceptives, and bleeding after sexual intercourse are "normal" and are not diseases. You just need to pay a little attention to your life and you will be fine.

If vaginal bleeding occurs in the middle of the menstrual cycle, that is, about 14 days before menstruation, lasts for 1-2 hours or 1-2 days, and the amount is small, rarely reaching the menstrual amount, it is generally caused by ovulation, also known as ovulation bleeding, which is a normal phenomenon.

Sexual intercourse can cause contact bleeding due to vaginal or cervical tumors, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, etc., but the amount of bleeding is generally not much. If the amount of bleeding is heavy, it is mostly caused by vaginal wall lacerations due to fragile vaginal tissue or overly rough sexual intercourse. Just a little attention is all that is needed.

In addition, vaginal bleeding may also be related to oral contraceptives. Women who regularly take oral contraceptives may sometimes experience irregular vaginal spotting, which may be related to missed doses of contraceptives. It may also occur in those who have not missed a dose and can be avoided by adjusting the medication.

The above is a detailed introduction to the causes of abnormal vaginal bleeding. At this point, everyone should have known clearly what causes this situation. Here, the editor would like to remind everyone that once abnormal vaginal bleeding occurs, you must go to the hospital for a thorough examination and treatment so that the disease can be effectively treated.
