What causes postovulation bleeding?

Ovulation bleeding is a disease, but many people mistakenly think that it is just a minor problem with the body. So what exactly causes ovulation bleeding? Let’s take a look with the editor today.

After the mature follicle ruptures and ovulates, the estrogen level drops sharply and significantly, which cannot maintain the growth of the endometrium, causing local rupture and shedding of the endometrial surface, resulting in breakthrough bleeding. With the formation of the corpus luteum of the ovary, sufficient amounts of estrogen and progesterone are secreted to quickly repair the ruptured endometrial surface and stop the bleeding. Or it is possible that during ovulation, the mature follicles secrete more estrogen, causing endometrial congestion and leakage of red blood cells. It is also possible that when the egg is captured in the fallopian tube fimbria, the blood-containing follicular fluid is sent to the uterine cavity through retrograde peristalsis of the fallopian tube and then flows out of the cervix through the vagina. It has been reported that when examining the cervical mucus of women who ovulate during the middle of their menstrual period, it was found that about 60% of them had red blood cells under a microscope, but no bleeding was visible to the naked eye. This is not a pathological phenomenon; but women with ovulation bleeding must rule out other diseases of the reproductive tract, such as irregular menstruation, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, endometrial polyps, submucous uterine fibroids, and other gynecological diseases.

The above are the reasons for ovulation bleeding. Although ovulation bleeding is very common, it reflects changes in internal body diseases. If you find yourself having symptoms of ovulation bleeding, you should go to the hospital for examination and consult a gynecologist in time.
