What are the causes of blood in women’s leucorrhea?

Women are often troubled by gynecological diseases. Excluding pregnancy and menstruation, if there is leucorrhea with blood on the underwear, it should be paid attention to. This situation may occur in both endometrial cancer and cervical cancer. So, what are the causes of blood in women’s leucorrhea?

1. Acute vaginitis

The main symptoms of acute vaginitis include vaginal discharge with an unpleasant odor, watery or purulent texture, and a significant increase in volume. Severe infection may cause vaginal spotting.

2. Cervical polyps

One of the manifestations of chronic cervicitis is cervical polyps, and married women are more likely to suffer from cervical polyps. One-third of cervical polyps have no obvious symptoms, so it is easy to miss the best time for treatment, but they can be discovered through examination. The main symptoms of cervical polyps include leucorrhea with an odor, yellowness, and blood. There will be a small amount of bleeding after sexual intercourse, and some patients' bleeding amount is even almost the same as menstrual blood. Some patients' leucorrhea will be yellow, and a few people's leucorrhea will be accompanied by an odor and contain blood.

3. Senile vaginitis

Vaginal discharge increases significantly and becomes light yellow in color. In severe cases, the vaginal discharge becomes bloody and purulent.

4. Severe cervical erosion

Usually, patients with mild cervical erosion do not have any obvious symptoms, while patients with moderate cervical erosion will have a significant increase in leucorrhea. Depending on the cause, leucorrhea can present in different conditions, with different colors, smells, shapes, and degrees. It may appear yellow pus or white, or milky white mucus. The main symptoms of severe cervical erosion include yellow, sticky and odorous leucorrhea, accompanied by vulvar itching, menstrual pain, lumbar pain, and bleeding during sexual intercourse. Cervical erosion can cause irregular vaginal bleeding and contact bleeding, and the inflammation may spread to the pelvic cavity. Once it spreads to the pelvic cavity, low back pain, abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea, and sacral pain will occur. The pain will worsen during bowel movements, menstruation, and sexual intercourse. If cervical erosion is not treated in time, it is likely to affect normal fertility and affect women's physical and mental health.

5. Cervical cancer

There will be a small amount of bleeding during sexual intercourse and increased vaginal discharge.

6. Endometrial cancer

The main symptoms include irregular bleeding, prolonged menstruation in non-menopausal women, and postmenopausal bleeding in menopausal women.

Women should pay attention to the presence of blood in their leucorrhea. If they want to prevent abnormal leucorrhea and blood in their leucorrhea, they should pay attention to hygiene in their daily life, especially the hygiene of their private parts. When it is rainy, try to dry your underwear in a ventilated place to prevent the underwear from getting moldy and producing bacteria.
