However, menstruation is also a problem that many women are troubled by. For example, delayed or early menstruation will catch women off guard.

What causes vaginal bleeding?

1. Cervical factors:

When a woman develops a cervical tumor, the tumor invades the blood vessels and causes vaginal bleeding. At first, it manifests as contact bleeding, and gradually it becomes a small amount of irregular vaginal bleeding. In the late stage, the amount of bleeding will be heavier.

2. Vaginal injury:

Vaginal bleeding can also occur when the female vagina is damaged or there is a foreign object. Vaginal damage can occur during sexual intercourse for certain reasons, and these reasons can cause vaginal bleeding.

3. Vaginal lesions:

When a tumor occurs in a woman's vaginal wall, the surface of the tumor will develop ulcers and necrosis due to infection, which will cause irregular vaginal bleeding. Normally, the amount of bleeding in this situation will not be large.

1. Increased menstrual flow: Heavy menstrual flow (>80ml) or prolonged menstrual period but basically normal cycle are typical symptoms of uterine fibroids. Other symptoms such as adenomyosis, ovulatory menstrual disorders, and intrauterine contraceptive device placement can also cause increased menstrual flow.

2. Irregular vaginal bleeding: mostly anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding, but care should be taken to rule out early endometrial cancer.

3. Long-term continuous vaginal bleeding without any discernible cycle: It is usually caused by reproductive tract malignancies. The possibility of cervical cancer or endometrial cancer should be considered first.

4. Postmenopausal vaginal bleeding: If it occurs in women of childbearing age, pregnancy-related diseases should be considered first, such as miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, hydatidiform mole, etc.; if it occurs in perimenopausal women, it is mostly anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding, but reproductive tract malignant tumors should be ruled out.

The above is an introduction to the causes of mid-menstrual bleeding. It can be seen that there are many factors that lead to non-menstrual bleeding, all of which are closely related to the vagina. Therefore, women should take good care of their genitals in life to prevent them from being traumatized or reduce bacterial invasion.
