What's wrong with vaginal discharge with blood?

In addition to their monthly periods, women also often have leucorrhea. They often have irregular menstruation problems, and of course, leucorrhea can also be abnormal. There are standards for the color, amount, taste, and shape of leucorrhea. Normal leucorrhea should be colorless and odorless, so why does leucorrhea contain blood? Let's take a look at what causes bloody vaginal discharge.

1. Bloody leucorrhea, increased menstrual volume, prolonged menstrual period but normal cycle. It may be uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, or dysfunctional uterine bleeding. In addition, those who have used an intrauterine device may also have increased menstrual flow.

2. Irregular menstrual cycle with bloody leucorrhea. It is often functional uterine bleeding, but endometrial cancer should be ruled out first.

3. Long-term bloody leucorrhea. Most of them are malignant tumors of reproductive organs, such as cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, etc.

4. Leucorrhea contains blood after menopause. Women of childbearing age are more likely to be concerned about pregnancy-related diseases, such as miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, hydatidiform mole, etc.; postmenopausal women are more likely to have malignant tumors.

5. Bloody leucorrhea after sexual intercourse. Most of them are cervical erosion, cervical polyps, cervical cancer or submucosal myoma.

6. Vaginal bleeding with bloody leucorrhea. It is often considered to be advanced cervical cancer or endometrial cancer with infection.

7. Paroxysmal vaginal bleeding with bloody leucorrhea. There is a possibility of primary fallopian tube cancer.

8. Bloody leucorrhea before and after menstruation. It is usually caused by ovarian dysfunction, but may also be endometriosis.

9. The leucorrhea contains blood, but the amount of bleeding is not much. Some people only have a small amount of brown secretions. It usually lasts for half a day or 2 to 3 days, and no more than 7 days at most. It may be accompanied by mild ovulation pain and back pain. Western medicine calls it ovulation bleeding, while traditional Chinese medicine calls it "intermenstrual bleeding." This is due to a temporary drop in estrogen levels, which causes the endometrium to lose hormonal support and partially shed, causing regular vaginal bleeding. If someone is measuring their basal body temperature, they will notice that this bleeding usually occurs during the transition from low body temperature to high body temperature. If the symptoms are mild, no treatment is required, but if the symptoms are obvious and may affect fertility, treatment should be given.

The above content is an explanation of the problem of bloody vaginal discharge. Bloody vaginal discharge may be caused by many situations, not every one of them requires medical treatment. Sometimes it is a normal phenomenon and does not last long. However, if the leucorrhea bleeding is really caused by some disease, then everyone needs to pay more attention to it. It is very likely a malignant tumor or cancer. In any case, it is better to get checked first.
