By understanding whether vaginal discharge is normal, one can preliminarily determine whether a woman has certain gynecological diseases. If there are abnormal changes in the characteristics of vaginal discharge, obvious odor, and blood streaks in the vaginal discharge, it should be alert. So, what causes abnormal vaginal bleeding?
1. When there is a small amount of blood in the vaginal discharge, it may be a normal physiological phenomenon. Because some women may experience slight bleeding during ovulation, there may be a small amount of blood streaks present in vaginal discharge. If there is such a situation during ovulation and no other discomfort, it may be considered as a small amount of bleeding caused by ovulation.
2. During the ovulation period of some women, due to the rupture of follicles to release eggs, there will be a temporary decrease in estrogen secretion in the body, which can cause a small amount of endometrial shedding. Therefore, there will be very little vaginal bleeding mixed with vaginal discharge. Generally, if there is blood in the left and right vaginal discharge within 1 to 2 days, the phenomenon will disappear.
3. When there is blood in the vaginal discharge that excludes the above reasons, it should be considered as a pathological cause. For example, patients with gynecological diseases such as cervicitis and endometritis may have blood in their vaginal discharge depending on the severity of the condition. The vaginal discharge caused by gynecological diseases often has blood and other discomfort symptoms, so it is important to seek medical attention promptly to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
