What are the reasons for ovulation bleeding and delayed menstruation?

Women have an ovulation period every month, during which time they can become pregnant if they have sex with a man. However, many women experience delayed menstruation after ovulation bleeding. So what causes ovulation bleeding and delayed menstruation in women? Let’s take a look with the editor.

During the middle of the menstrual cycle, that is, during ovulation, due to a brief drop in estrogen levels, the endometrium loses hormonal support and some endometrium sheds, causing regular vaginal bleeding, which is called ovulation bleeding. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it "intermenstrual bleeding." 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 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 follicle secretes 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 the retrograde peristalsis of the fallopian tube and then flows out from 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 reproductive tract diseases, such as irregular menstruation, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, endometrial polyps, submucous uterine fibroids, and other gynecological diseases.

The above is the reason why women have ovulation bleeding and delayed menstruation. If you experience symptoms of ovulation bleeding, you should pay enough attention to it, go to the hospital for examination in time and do not miss the best treatment time.
