What is vulvar bleeding?

Vulvar bleeding is a relatively common gynecological disease, which is mainly caused by diseases such as vaginitis and uterine inflammation. It may also be caused by menstrual bleeding during menstruation.

Vaginal bleeding refers to bleeding from the reproductive system other than normal menstruation. It is one of the more common symptoms of gynecological diseases. Bleeding may occur in the vagina, cervix, uterine body and fallopian tube, but uterine bleeding is the most common.

Causes

1. Ovarian endocrine dysfunction can cause uterine bleeding. In addition, the rupture of ovarian follicles during menstruation can cause a temporary drop in estrogen levels, which can also cause uterine bleeding.

2. Genital tumors, such as uterine fibroids, cervical cancer and endometrial cancer, can cause vaginal bleeding.

3. Uterine bleeding related to pregnancy, such as ectopic pregnancy, threatened abortion, miscarriage, etc.

4. Genital inflammation and trauma can lead to vaginal bleeding;

5. Systemic diseases, such as abnormalities in platelet quantity and quality, coagulation dysfunction including thrombocytopenic purpura, aplastic anemia, liver damage, etc. can all cause vaginal bleeding.

6. Exogenous hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, can cause "breakthrough bleeding" or "withdrawal bleeding".
