What are the reasons for a small amount of bleeding during non-menstrual period?

As the saying goes, a healthy beggar is happier than a sick king. Everyone should pay attention to health, especially women. Various physical diseases are not only due to imperfect treatment methods, but more importantly, it depends on how we treat our bodies. Normal women have menstruation every month, but what about some women? They may occasionally experience vaginal bleeding after or before their period. So, what are the reasons for a small amount of bleeding during non-menstrual period? Let’s take a look at it below.

1) The vaginal wall is not fully expanded during first sexual intercourse or when the intercourse is too hasty or too violent, which can easily cause vaginal wall tearing. This situation is more common among young girls who have eaten the forbidden fruit. Generally speaking, a woman's vagina is elastic, has many vertical and horizontal folds, is easy to expand, and will not tear. The vagina of a young girl is not yet fully developed. If she is too nervous during her first sexual intercourse, her muscles will contract and she will use too much force, which can easily cause tearing.

2) Vaginal bleeding that occurs between two menstrual periods after the menstrual period is over may be physiological or pathological. The most common of the former is vaginal bleeding during ovulation, which is characterized by mild lower abdominal pain and discomfort during a small amount of bleeding, and basal body temperature changes during ovulation. The latter is characterized by cervical erosion, polyps or cervical cancer, especially when it occurs frequently after sexual intercourse. This is because the contact and friction of the sexual organs cause damage and congestion to the affected area, resulting in blood exudation.

3) The menstrual period does not come, and vaginal bleeding occurs 7-10 days later. At this time, it is important to distinguish whether the vaginal bleeding is caused by menstruation or disease. The former is similar to the regularity of previous menstruation. The latter has no such pattern, with the flow sometimes more and sometimes less, but constantly. If accompanied by abdominal pain, you should pay more attention, because this situation is more common in ectopic pregnancy or threatened abortion.

4) The amount of menstrual blood increases, the duration is longer, and the dysmenorrhea is more obvious. This situation is more common in uterine fibroids or endometriosis.

5) If you had normal menstruation in the past but have had continuous bleeding recently, this is usually caused by illness and requires prompt examination. The most likely cause is uterine inflammation or cancer. If after a natural or artificial abortion, vaginal bleeding usually stops within 3-7 days, and normal menstruation resumes after one month. However, if the above-mentioned continuous vaginal bleeding occurs, it is likely that there is residual fetal membrane tissue in the uterus. If this is the case, it should be removed by curettage as soon as possible, otherwise the residual fetal membrane tissue may turn into choriocarcinoma after a period of time. In addition, it may also be caused by intrauterine infection or cervical injury, which can be easily diagnosed through further examination.

6) For women who have had hydatidiform mole and whose condition has improved after treatment and whose menstruation has returned to normal, if they experience abnormal, heavy vaginal bleeding again within two years, it may be an early symptom of malignant hydatidiform mole and diagnosis should not be delayed.

7) There are two possible reasons for vaginal bleeding in menopausal women, especially after the age of 60. For some women who still have sex, due to endocrine changes after menopause, the vagina is dry, which makes it easy for friction, injury and bleeding during sex. Therefore, if there is a feeling of dryness during intercourse, a small amount of ointment (such as tetracycline ointment) should be applied on the male glans before having sex. This can reduce this mechanical damage and improve the sexual effect for both parties. But menopausal women must remember: unexplained vaginal bleeding after menopause is usually not a good thing, because with increasing age, the incidence of cervical cancer and uterine cancer increases significantly. If these early manifestations of vaginal bleeding are not taken seriously, diagnosis is delayed, and the opportunity for early treatment is lost, it will be a lifelong regret.

After reading the above description, I believe everyone has a deeper understanding of the small amount of bleeding that is not during menstruation. The cause of this disease varies from person to person, but I hope that most women will go to the hospital for a check-up this morning to avoid any serious illness. If you miss the opportunity for early treatment, the consequences will be disastrous. I hope the above information can be helpful to you all, and I wish you all have a great health.
