Causes of vaginal bleeding in girls

Gynecological diseases are a common disease among women and seriously affect their physical health. Vaginal bleeding is also common among women, but I believe many women are not very clear about the cause. Also, they are embarrassed to go to the hospital for check-up due to face. This idea is very wrong. What is the cause of vaginal bleeding in girls? Let’s find out through the following content!

The reasons for vaginal bleeding in girls vary, but can be summarized as follows:

1. Trauma and inflammation: Inflammation and trauma of the vulva and vagina are common causes of vaginal bleeding in girls.

2. Precocious puberty: Vaginal bleeding in girls before the age of 10. There was a case of vaginal bleeding in a three-and-a-half-year-old girl. After examination, trauma and inflammation were ruled out. B-ultrasound revealed a solid mass in the lower abdomen. Pathological examination after surgery showed that it was an endodermal sinus tumor.

3. Irregular vaginal bleeding: a common manifestation of functional uterine bleeding in adolescence.

4. Vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse: It is not uncommon for teenage girls to have sexual intercourse. The vagina of young girls is not yet fully developed, and if they are too nervous during intercourse, their muscles may spasm, which can easily cause tears in the vaginal wall or vulva. If fresh blood appears immediately after sexual intercourse, early cervical cancer, cervical polyps, or submucous uterine fibroids should also be considered.

5. Vaginal bleeding between two menstrual periods: It occurs 14 to 15 days before the next menstrual period, lasts for 3 to 4 days, and the amount of blood is very small. It may be accompanied by mild lower abdominal pain and discomfort. It is mostly ovulation bleeding and generally does not require treatment. Basal body temperature often changes during ovulation.

6. Vaginal bleeding after menopause: Girls who have sexual life should first consider pregnancy-related diseases, such as miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, hydatidiform mole, etc.

7. Post-abortion bleeding: After a spontaneous abortion or an artificial abortion, vaginal bleeding usually stops within 3 to 7 days, and normal menstruation resumes after one month. However, if there is continuous vaginal bleeding, it may be that there is residual fetal membrane tissue in the uterus, and uterine curettage is required as soon as possible.

8. Bleeding after taking contraceptive pills: If the bleeding occurs in the first half of the menstrual period, it may be due to low estrogen levels; if the bleeding occurs in the second half of the menstrual period, it is mostly due to insufficient progesterone. Both need to be adjusted under the guidance of a doctor.

There are many reasons for vaginal bleeding in girls, but generally speaking, they are summarized as above. If you find yourself having corresponding symptoms, it is best to go to the hospital for examination in time. After all, your body is your own. Being sick will only make you suffer and make your family worry. I hope that female friends can correct their thinking and actively seek treatment.
