Bright red non-menstrual bleeding

If it is not menstrual bleeding, you first need to determine whether it is the ovulation period. Generally speaking, girls may experience ovulation bleeding during the ovulation period, which refers to a small amount of bleeding between two normal menstrual periods, which may be accompanied by varying degrees of lower abdominal pain. If the symptoms are mild, no treatment is required. If the amount of bleeding is heavy, you need to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment. Girls usually need to make some dietary adjustments. This article introduces some nourishing diets for women.

What is the cause of “non-menstrual bleeding”? Beware of 4 possibilities!

1. Functional uterine bleeding

"Functional uterine bleeding" is abbreviated as "dysfunctional uterine bleeding". It usually presents with irregular menstrual cycles, excessive menstrual flow, prolonged menstruation or irregular bleeding. It is mainly caused by dysfunction of the nervous system and endocrine system. Due to long-term irregular bleeding, some patients with "functional uterine bleeding" will also have varying degrees of anemia. Generally speaking, if menstruation is delayed for more than 7 days, it is recommended not to take it for granted that it is a delayed menstruation phenomenon, but to observe the color, amount and duration of menstruation. Once you find that the amount of blood is sometimes more and sometimes less, there is continuous bleeding, abdominal pain, etc., you should be vigilant.

2. Contact bleeding

Contact bleeding refers to vaginal bleeding in women after sexual intercourse. Contact bleeding is an abnormal phenomenon and must be taken seriously. Generally speaking, contact bleeding is related to gynecological diseases (such as cervicitis, vaginitis, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, early cervical cancer). Once contact bleeding occurs, you should go to the hospital in time to avoid missing the best time for treatment.

3. Ovulation bleeding

Ovulation bleeding usually occurs between two regular menstrual periods. Ovulation bleeding is generally related to the level of estrogen secretion. During female ovulation, the estrogen level will drop briefly, and the endometrium will lose the support of estrogen, causing the endometrium to fall off and cause bleeding. Ovulation bleeding is generally small in amount and short in duration, and no treatment is required if the symptoms are mild. However, if the bleeding is heavy, you should take hemostatic drugs under the guidance of a doctor to control it.

4. Bleeding caused by contraceptive measures

Some people may experience side effects such as irregular non-menstrual bleeding and spotting after taking birth control pills. After taking birth control pills, estrogen levels decrease, the normal growth of the endometrium is affected, and some women may experience endometrial shedding and bleeding.

In addition, if the IUD stimulates the endometrium and causes damage to the endometrium, it can easily cause bleeding.

What should you pay attention to when you have “non-menstrual bleeding”?

1. Observe the bleeding time. When non-menstrual bleeding occurs, in addition to recording the time, we should also observe whether the bleeding occurs for several consecutive months. Generally speaking, if bleeding occurs during ovulation, it is mostly harmless.

2. Determine whether bleeding occurs after ovulation. If bleeding occurs after ovulation and is accompanied by abdominal pain, it is necessary to rule out endocrine disorders.

3. Observe whether the bleeding time is regular. If your bleeding is irregular, you should be alert to whether you have endometriosis, uterine fibroids, cervical cancer, etc.

4. Determine whether there is heavy bleeding. If the bleeding is not stopped and is profuse, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time to stop the bleeding as soon as possible.
