There is blood below but it is not menstruation

During menstruation, bleeding is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, if the bleeding has nothing to do with menstruation, this kind of irregular vaginal bleeding needs to be treated with caution! Except for menstrual bleeding, other vaginal bleeding can be said to be abnormal. There are many reasons for non-menstrual bleeding in the vagina. When a woman has such a situation, she should go to the hospital for regular examination and treatment in time.

There is blood down there but it is not my period

There are many reasons that can cause non-menstrual bleeding in the vagina. Vaginal diseases and cervical diseases can cause vaginal bleeding, but the most common reason is uterine disease. Because non-menstrual bleeding in the vagina can be caused by many reasons, once the patient has this situation, he must go to the hospital for a physical examination. He must undergo cervical smear, colposcopy, diagnostic curettage, hysteroscopy and other examinations to establish a clear diagnosis and seek treatment as soon as possible.

Causes of non-menstrual vaginal bleeding

1. Endocrine imbalance

For this type of bleeding caused by endocrine imbalance, the organic cause is generally eliminated first. For example, if women of childbearing age have vaginal bleeding, it is necessary to check whether there is a history of improper contraception and other diseases of the reproductive organs. Relevant endocrine tests can be done, usually including acid-fast staining of vaginal cytology and pathological examination of the uterine wall. If the bleeding occurs during menopause, in addition to the possibility of malignant tumors, it may also be caused by endocrine disorders. The metabolism of estrogen in the uterus and ovaries is reduced, but adrenaline can replace the metabolism. In addition, there is also a possibility that it is the result of exogenous medication.

2. Tumor

Non-menstrual bleeding in the vagina and both benign and malignant tumors of the male reproductive organs may be the "culprits". For example, submucosal uterine fibroids and intramural fibroids can cause heavy menstrual flow. Malignant tumors in the vagina, cervix, and uterine body can cause a small amount of bleeding, or bleeding after menopause. In addition, if you suffer from uterine ovarian granulosa cell tumor, which causes excessive estrogen metabolism, you may also experience menorrhagia, non-menstrual vaginal bleeding, and postmenopausal bleeding. B-ultrasound examination can help with diagnosis.

3. Genital inflammation

This type of inflammation does not cause a lot of bleeding, and there is often an abnormal increase in leucorrhea. Vulvar inflammation, ulcers, and urethral meatus may also cause a small amount of bleeding. Candidal vaginitis, candidal vaginitis and senile vaginitis are the more common types of Trichomonas vaginitis. The first two are accompanied by abnormal leucorrhea, and the latter is usually manifested as postmenopausal bleeding. Cervicitis can also cause contact bleeding, especially when there are cervical polyps. In addition to considering cervical cancer, cervical ulcers should also exclude syphilis and tuberculosis. Endometrial inflammation often occurs after miscarriage and full-term delivery, and there will be more bloody leucorrhea. In addition, pelvic inflammation is also a condition that is combined with menorrhagia and irregular bleeding.

4. Pregnancy related

Women of childbearing age need to pay attention to whether there is abnormal tissue in their menstruation. When seeking medical treatment, it is best to send the "meat-like substance" mixed in the blood to the hospital for pathological examination to determine whether it is a miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy or hydatidiform mole.

5. Related to contraceptive measures

Irregular use of some female birth control pills or movement of the intrauterine contraceptive ring can also cause non-menstrual bleeding.

6. Systemic diseases

Excessive menstruation or abnormal uterine bleeding may also be caused by this disease, such as nephritis, sepsis, aplastic anemia, etc.
