Women have several days each month that belong to their menstrual period, and the onset of menstruation is also a normal physiological response for women. During menstruation, women's immune system may decrease, so women should pay more attention and protect their health. Why do some women find blood streaks in their vaginal discharge before and after their menstrual period?
1. Ovulation bleeding: There are many reasons why women have blood streaks in their vaginal discharge before and after their menstrual period. It may be caused by physiological reasons, such as ovulation bleeding, which refers to a small amount of bleeding between two normal menstrual periods and may be accompanied by varying degrees of abdominal pain. If the symptoms are mild and do not require treatment, medication can be used for adjustment if there is heavy bleeding and severe abdominal pain.
2. Gynecological diseases: However, it should be noted that if women suffer from some gynecological diseases, it can also lead to the occurrence of bloody vaginal discharge before and after menstruation. For example, acute vaginitis, cervical polyps, cervical erosion, submucosal fibroids of the uterus, and so on. These diseases can cause significant harm to women's bodies, and it is necessary to identify the specific causes and receive targeted treatment.
3. Causes of intrauterine device (IUD): In addition, if a woman uses an IUD for contraception, there may be some adverse reactions in the body when the IUD is first placed, such as irregular bleeding. If the amount of bleeding is not large, it will flow out with vaginal discharge. This situation can be observed first. If there is still bleeding after more than three months, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination.
